Minolta XG-1 35mm SLR Film Camera with 28mm f2.8 Lens
Description:
We like the XG-1 for being a compact, lightweight, and very easy SLR to pick up and use. Introduced in 1978 as part of Minolta's XG series, it keeps things simple without feeling basic. Aperture priority lets you set the depth of field while the camera handles the shutter speed automatically, and full manual is there when you want complete control. A useful exposure compensation dial of plus or minus 2 stops gives you a little creative override when the light is tricky. The Minolta SR mount gives access to a wide range of excellent MC and MD Rokkor lenses, and the 28mm f2.8 is a sharp wide angle well suited to street photography, travel, and environmental portraits. A dependable and accessible SLR that suits anyone just getting started with film.
