Innovation and creativity has always been a driving
force behind Minolta products.The Electro-zoom X
was purely an exercise in camera design.It was
unveiled at Photokina in Germany in 1966.
The Electro-zoom X was an electronically controlled
aperture-priority mechanical SLR with a built-in 30 –
120mm f/3.5 zoom lens giving twenty 12 X 17mm
images on a roll of 16mm film.The shutter-release
button and battery chamber are located in the grip.
Only a few prototypes were built making it one of
Minolta’s rarest cameras.
