The Ansco Autoset camera was marketed by Ansco of Binghamton, New York in circa 1960 and manufactured by Minolta for Ansco. It was the same as the Minolta Hi-Matic. This 35mm camera was also similar to Ansco's Anscoset features, except it did not have the match-needle metering adjustment, this camera was fully automatic. The Camera was fitted with a Rokkor f2.8 45mm lens and a shutter providing speeds from 1/30th to 1/800th of a second with automatic setting. A single dial sets itself automatically for perfect flash exposures. Other features included a rapid-wind film advance lever located on the top and a coupled rangefinder- viewfinder. The Ansco Autoset was originally priced at approximately $89.95.
