Beautiful, tastefully customized, top-of-the-line Minolta film SLR from late 1970's - a very capable and highly collectable camera. XD-series were beautifully built and loaded with advanced features, including shutter and aperture priority mode shooting and DOF preview. The camera was developed by Minolta in conjunction with Leica, and the body became the basis for the Leica R4. Full user manual is available here.
 

FUNCTION

Shutter, meter, film transport, timer all work properly. Brand new seals and mirror guard installed.
 

COSMETICS

Excellent. Minor chrome pitting on the top, near the shutter speed dial. A few superficial on the bottom, consistent with age and moderate use. No dents. Some old corrosion inside the battery cap was cleaned off. Original leatherette professionally replaced with genuine suede in Pearl Python pattern - stunning and very pleasant to touch.
