from $1,250.00

Signed limited edition print of a MINOLTA Autopak 400-X from 1972 by Antony Nobilo from his collection "Pop Art Vintage Cameras". Archival pigment print on Epson Premium Luster photo paper (260gsm), hand signed and numbered, available in three sizes

"A timeless vintage camera photograph from the personal collection. This piece captures the elegant design and craftsmanship of classic photography equipment, celebrating the analog era of photography" Antony Nobilo

CAMERA ORIGIN Osaka, Japan
TYPE 126 Cartridge Snapshot Camera

The Autopak 400-X is Minolta's take on the drop-in 126 cartridge camera — compact,
all-plastic, and designed for fast, foolproof family use. Its slim black body, silver-trimmed lens housing and built-in flash recess give it the unmistakable styling of early-1970s consumer cameras, while the Rokkor-branded lens hints at the more serious optical pedigree of its maker. It is a small, honest object that captures the everyday photographic culture of its decade. Carried by families, travellers and amateur documentarians across the early 1970s, the Autopak line was part of the wider 126 phenomenon that put colour photography into millions of hands worldwide. Although built as a humble snapshot camera, the Autopak 400-X carries the Rokkor name on its lens — a quiet reminder that even Minolta's simplest consumer cameras were built by an optics-first company.Framing is available for prints in this collection .
