| Minolta Vectis S-1 with system flash & system lens, (left image) and the bayonets, male bayonet on lens, female bayonet in body (right image). image by Uwe Kulick (Image rights) |
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) .

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.
** digital re-use on Sony NEX and its successors Sony A5x00 & A6x00 is possible by means of the MonsterAdapter LA-VE1
This kind of re-use is recommended only for two of the lenses, the APO tele zoom lens and the 50mm Macro lens, since both have a manual-focusing ring that works sufficiently with this adapter. It supports manual focus and automatic aperture.
