Minolta X-700 35mm SLR Film Camera with 50mm f1.4 Lens
Description:
The X-700 is one of the finest cameras Minolta ever made, and it is hard to argue with the reception it received when it launched. Named EISA Camera of the Year in 1981, it brought together programme, aperture priority, and full manual modes in a compact, beautifully balanced body that is a genuine pleasure to use. Programme mode handles everything automatically for quick shooting, aperture priority lets you control depth of field while the camera manages the shutter speed, and manual puts every decision in your hands. The Minolta MD mount gives access to a superb range of Rokkor and MD lenses, and the 50mm f1.4 included here is one of the best standard lenses Minolta ever produced. Sharp across the frame, fast enough for low-light shooting, and with a lovely rendering at wider apertures that suits portraits beautifully. A camera that suits beginners and experienced photographers equally well, and one that continues to hold its reputation decades after it was made.
