And if my memory serves me right, the first 35mm SLR was the Kine Exacta
in 1936.
Invention of AF lenses? Beside the Honeywell Patent, there was a Leica
AF prototype shown on one Photokina in the 70´s. And wasn´t there an
N*k*n F3AF and an C*n*n T80 camera both with interchangeable AF lenses
before Minolta introduced there AF system?
