Minolta ac 101 Courreges
This camera is basically a simplifies Minolta ac 301 Courreges. It came
with a 12.5mm f2.8 lens and two shutter speeds -- 1/100 and 1/200 -- but
the lens is fixed-focus. Since disc film was available in only one film speed,
Minolta was able to construct an effective exposure control system using
the CDS meter. In bright light, the shutter is set at 1/200 and the aperture
at f6. In lower light the built-in flash is triggered, the shutter
is set at 1/100 and the aperture at f2.8. The ac 101 was available
in several pastel color schemes such as blue, green, yellow, beige and pink
in a white-color wave pattern, accented with silver. Even if you don't
take pictures with it, it's nice just to look at. Matching leather
case and silver strap.
