Top of the line Minolta SLR of the early 80's, X-700 is the camera of choice for an advanced amateur photographer. It is a final high-spec manual focus model manufactured by Minolta before the company introduced auto-focus cameras. Three shooting modes (including Program) and a very bright viewfinder make it very convenient to use for both amateurs and experienced film shooters.
This particular camera is in EXC++ condition. No dents, scuffs or brassing on the body, just a few micro-scratches on the bottom from normal use (plastic protective film is still in place). Shutter fires accurately, meter, timer, film transport all work properly. Viewfinder and focusing screen are bright and clear of dust. Light seals and mirror bumper were replaced .This camera is equipped with Minolta MD 50mm f/1.7 prime lens in great shape. Glass is scratch- and fungus-free; aperture blades are free from oil, action is snappy. Barrel of the lens is blemish-free with bright lettering on the rings. The lens comes with a Hoya Skylight filter and brand new generic front cap; vintage Minolta camera strap (needs a clean) and a set of fresh batteries for the meter are included as well.
