MINOLTA XD5
  • Minolta XD5 Chrome / Onyx Lizard

    Advanced Minolta SLR from the late 1970's, XD5 shares a lot of design elements with Leica R4. It is missing just a couple of minor convenience features, compared to Minolta's flagship XD11 model - aperture window in the viewfinder, film advance indicator on the back panel. Mechanically and electronically, the two cameras are identical, including aperture and shutter priority shooting modes. This particular camera looks sparingly used and comes with a full set of manuals, high-quality fast 50mm lens and even original carton box!

     

    FUNCTION


    Shutter, meter, and film transport work properly. Self-timer is a bit sluggish, which is common in 40-year old cameras, and should bet better with regular use. Brand new light seals and mirror guard installed ($25 value).
     

    COSMETICS


    EXC+ No dents, brassing or major scuffs, just a few small scratches from normal use - mostly on the bottom of the camera. Bright and sharp lettering on the dials. Focusing screen and viewfinder are bright and clear. Original leatherette was professionally replaced with a new Onyx Lizard genuine leather cover - classy and unique.
