Revision as of 19:25, 11 February 2021


Minolta was the only camera maker that created a new autofocus SLR camera system with a complete set of new lenses for the APS film system. Only three camera models got the lens bayonet that fits for these precious lenses: The Minolta Vectis S-1, the Minolta Vectis S-100, and the digital SLR Minolta RD-3000. All automatic control signals are given electronically to the lens barrel. Camera body and lens, both sides have the necessary electrical contacts. The image shows the Minolta Vectis S-1 with the 1:3.5/50mm macro V-lens. The system flash SF-1 bears a macro diffusor, and the lens is focused to nearest distance (23mm, magnification 1:2) .

The system lenses for Minolta's Vectis S-1, Vectis S-100, and Dimâge RD-3000

V 17mm f/3.5 RD A super wide-angle lens (35mm film equivalent: approx. 26mm)
V 22 - 80 mm f4 - 5.6 A standard type 3.6X zoom lens that covers wide angle to telephoto range, compact and lightweight (35mm film equivalent: approx. 34 - 123mm)
V 28 - 56 mm f4 - 5.6 A standard type 2.0X zoom lens (35mm film equivalent: approx. 48 - 86mm)
V 80‑240mm f4.5‑5.6 APO An apochromatic (=highly colorcorrected) high-performance 3.0X tele zoom lens (35 mm film equivalent: approx. 123 - 370mm)
V 50 mm f3.5 MACRO A macro lens with focus from infinity to a 1:2 magnification ratio (35 mm film equivalent: approx. 77mm)
The following lenses lenses can be attached to the Minolta RD-3000, but may not perform to 100% of their capabilities.
V 56-170mm f/4.5-5.6
V Reflex 400mm f/8
V 25-150mm f/4.5-6.3

For all lenses listed above: - Effective aperture range: f/6.7 - 22 - Focal length: approx. 1.5 times longer when compared to 35mm film usage.
