Talk:Minolta 35

Leica III?

I was wondering about the introduction part of this article. It mentions that the Minolta 35 is Leica based, and suggest a link between the Minolta 35 and the Leica III. I think this is inaccurate. I mean, there is a huge difference between early Fed or Zorki, which clearly are Leica copies, and the Minolta 35, which, as far as I know, doesn't share any single part with a screwmount Leica. Just because a camera has a rangefinder and uses the Leica threadmount doesn't mean that it is a Leica copy! Any thoughts? User:Fragarach

Adding a lens section

How would you fell about adding a section dedicated to the lenses? User:Fragarach

Early serial numbers

Previous version stated "This camera was not made in large numbers: serial numbers range from 0101 to 0900 or 1000".

I replaced this by "This camera was not made in large numbers, probably less than 1000." While later model A serial numbers are certainly below 1000, there is no evidence that numbering started at 0101.

Model II type b and external links

Believe that the photo of the model II should be associated with Model II type B rather than Model IIB.

Also link at bottom are bad. Better references might be:

Thank you for your recent edits. The link by Dan Colucci was dead, I reintroduced the new address. --rebollo_fr 10:06, 23 July 2010 (EDT)
