Description
The Minolta X-700 comes with a Minolta MD 50mm f/1.7 lens and a Minolta Motor Drive 1. The motor drive makes shooting this camera a blast. It has buttons for both vertical and horizontal shooting. Even with the motor drive the X-700 is very light.
The X-700 was a camera made for everyone. It can be used as a fully automatic point and shoot (sans autofocus of course) all the way to a manually controlled professional SLR. It features TTL meetering as well as TTL flash metering with compatible flash units. Minolta made brilliant cameras. When the X-700 was introduced Minolta was at the top of their game in terms of optics and mechanics.
This example is in fair condition. The buyer should note there is a small dent on the interior flange near the focusing screen. Additionally there are some specs of dirt on the screen and viewfinder that are consistent with the age of the camera and will not affect images taken using this body. The lens has some dust that is unlikely to affect picture quality. A UV filter is included to protect the lens. This kit is everything you need to get started shooting. It includes an X-700 body, motor drive, 50mm lens, LR44 Batteries, 8 AA Batteries, and as a bonus a Kalimar polarizer filter.
