This is in great condition Fully tested and cleaned. A really great camera, very comfortable to hold - perfect for those just getting into film photography!
With custom dark red and black crocodile pattern leatherette. These are fantastic cameras with a distinctive style, this one especially. Pair it with a Minolta lens for a beautiful vintage 35mm film camera set up.
The Minolta XG-1 was initially released as the more consumer-friendly model compared to the more professional-aimed XD series in 1977. The XG-1 had automatic electronic metering and electronically-controlled shutter speeds from 1s to 1/1000s.
Minolta MD 50mm 1:2 lens is nice and fast. A nice feature is the Touch Switch (much lauded in the 70’s), where the moment your finger rests on the shutter button, the electronics inside the viewfinder light up and give a reading. This display lasts for about 15 seconds, then winks out, saving the battery.
