Minolta AF-Tele point-and-shoot film camera

A lovely camera that feels great in the hand, with twin lenses (standard and telephoto).

This is a dual-lens compact auto-focus camera launched by Minolta in 1985. A lever on the side of the lens switches between lenses, and the lever also opens and closes the lens barrier. Unlike many other compact cameras, this camera can take screw-on filters with a 46 mm thread which is a neat feature if you want to get creative.
