Popular SLR of the 80's, Minolta XG-M is a great choice for a beginner film shooter or a student. More compact and lighter than other cameras of the period, very ergonomic and easy to use, with a bright viewfinder and full manual control of the shutter speeds, along with aperture-priority mode. Set lens aperture is displayed in the viewfinder, very convenient feature.

 

FUNCTION

Shutter, film transport, self-timer and meter all work properly. Brand new light seals just installed for years of trouble-free performance ($25 value).
 

COSMETICS

Near mint. No dents, just some micro-scratches from normal use. Clean and sharp lettering on the dials. Focusing screen and viewfinder are bright, with just a few tiny specs of dust (will not affect shooting). Original leatherette is in excellent condition.
 

COMES WITH
