The Minolta SR66 is a 6×6 SLR camera made as a prototype by Minolta in 1967. It has exchangeable film backs for 120 or 220 film, and an electronically governed metal focal-plane shutter. The design allowed for interchangeable lenses and finders; the camera has been photographed and exhibited with a "waist-level" finder and a standard Auto W-Rokkor lens. It was displayed in the JCII exhibition about Konica and Minolta in 2005; pictures taken at this event show what looks like three interchangeable lenses, in addition to the standard lens mounted on the camera.
The Minolta SR66 never went into full production.
