Beautiful vintage Minolta 35mm camera. all electronic functions were perfect, even had a strong battery pack installed. Autofocus, Zoom, etc, all worked perfectly! The camera was clearly described, all features were as stated, as far as I can see the item was even better than the description!! thanks again mike
Camera was easy to set up and takes great picture. It does have a little bleed in the viewfinder but does not interfer with taking pictures.Settings are easy to change and flash worked well. Having many Minoltas, I was interested in the xi line of older cameras and have not been disappointed so far in any of them for the investment I have made.
I have only used the minolta 5xi as a film camera and feel it is easy to use. I like the option of going back and forth between Automatic, or Manual. The body looks nice and is sturdy. My old minolta 5xi was constantly being used by me for 25 years and finally gave out on me. I looked at other options but decided to get the same Minolta that I am used to. I recieved it yesterday and am extatic to have it!!! I can't wait to go out on location and use it, and then develop my film in the dark room.
I have used a camera like this for many years and the camera recently stopped working and was advised repair not possible. Already have Lens and want to beable to still use film for some aspects of photography.
I placed a bid on this camera that was being sold as a parts camera for the Tamron 28-200mm lens. After receiving the camera, I popped a battery into the camera and was surprised to see that it works after all. So it turns out to be a better deal than I thought it was going to be.
