Minolta's 1991 dual-lens 35mm compact — switchable 28mm f/4 and 40mm f/5.6, sold as Freedom Dual C in the US.

The Minolta Riva Twin 28 is a dual-lens autofocus 35mm compact launched in 1991, sold in North America as the Freedom Dual C. Instead of a zoom it switches between two fixed focal lengths, and its 28mm wide setting was unusually wide for an early-1990s point-and-shoot, which is what draws attention to it today.

A button on the top plate flips between the two lenses: a 28mm f/4 wide-angle of three elements in three groups and a 40mm f/5.6 normal of five elements in five groups. Autofocus and exposure are automatic, and the built-in flash fires automatically but can be turned off. DX decoding is primitive — film below ISO 400 is exposed at 100, ISO 400 and above at 400, and non-DX film at 100. Power comes from a 2CR5 6V lithium battery, and the body weighs 270g at 143x75x53mm.

The 28mm setting makes it a cheap route to a wide-angle film compact for street, travel and documentary snapshots, a niche where prices of better-known wide compacts have climbed steeply. Fixed focal lengths mean simpler, generally more reliable optics than a zoom, though the crude two-step DX handling rewards ISO 100 or 400 film specifically.

It needs a working 2CR5 lithium battery — still sold but pricier than AAs — so test power-up, the lens-switch button, AF, wind-on and rewind before buying. Confirm the flash charges and the off switch works, check the battery door and film-door seals, and look for the usual 1990s compact issues of sticky shutter blades and corroded contacts.
