Minolta110 Zoom

The other day I came across a vintage camera that I had not seen before, a Minolta110 Zoom.
The Minolta 110 zoom was made by the Minolta company of Japan between 1976 and 1979, it was the first SLR camera in 110 format.
It has a fixed 25-50 mm zoom lens which appears to be in good condition and was manually focused.

I like this vintage camera from the 70's, it would be interesting to see how good a phototgraph it can take!
