[[Minolta]] made two attempts to offer [[SLR]] cameras for the [[110 film|110 pocket film format]]. One was the unconventional camera pictured on the right, the '''Minolta 110 Zoom SLR''', which had a built-in 1:4.5/25-50mm zoom lens. The aperture selector was not part of the lens. It was placed around the exposure-meter-eye instead. The meter controlled just the shutter speed. A [[hot shoe]] for a flash was an top of the camera.

Minolta made two attempts to offer SLR cameras for the 110 pocket film format. One was the unconventional camera pictured on the right, the Minolta 110 Zoom SLR, which had a built-in 1:4.5/25-50mm zoom lens. The aperture selector was not part of the lens. It was placed around the exposure-meter-eye instead. The meter controlled just the shutter speed. A hot shoe for a flash was an top of the camera.

The other "pocket SLR" was the Minolta 110 Zoom SLR MARK II which appeared more as a shrunken conventional SLR. It offered a 1:3,5/25-67mm macro zoom lens, rated as one of the top-performing lenses for 110 format by author William White[1].
