Excellent, near-perfect, professional packing which was worth the seemingly high cost. Followed my packing instructions. Item arrived as pictured and in excellent condition. Decent communication. Very good experience overall; would buy from them again!

    Almost like new....

    The only bad thing I could say about this camera is that it didn't come with a body cap to protect the mirror and interior from dust! It presents very clean. Leather is in tact, fits well, and has virtually no flaws. The only thing I can find that's not original is the neck strap loops, which should be triangular in shape and have a plastic retention clip inside. The hot shoe is functioning, the auto feature is perfect, metering is dead-on, and frame advance is crisp. I can't wait to take it out for some old-school film shooing.

    Camera body is beautiful but it doesn't work

    The listing made it seem as though the camera functions but even with new batteries and film the shutter doesn't fire so it cannot take photos. The body of the camera is in beautiful shape. Hopefully I can get it repaired.

  • Minolta XG-1 Film Camera

    The XG-1 is Minolta's entry level manual focus SLR film camera from the late 70's and early 80's. It's very cheap, simple and easy to use. Features: - Aperture priority (you set the aperture, the camera sets the shutter speed) mode. - 1 second-1/1000 second cloth shutter with 1/60 second flash sync speed. - Uses modern, cheap batteries (2 LR44 button cells) and has an electronically controlled shutter, so most working cameras should give accurate exposure readings. Drawbacks: - No metered manual mode (camera would tell you when your manually set exposures are over or under exposed) - Capacitors are less robust than on the X series cameras and have a tendency to fail and need replacing. - All of these cameras will need a light seal replacement if they haven't had one already. The stuff ...

  • Bargain SLR with great Glass that can be found Cheap!

    If your looking for a 35mm Film SLR for a good price: XG-1 cameras can be found for near mint in great condition and working perfectly for around 30-80 body only, or sometimes with a lens or a few lenses, Batteries are easy to find at the Grocery store or ordered online. Minolta and Rokinar Glass is high quality and can be found Mint from 200.00 or in verygood condition as low as 20-35.00 us online. This camera is easy to use and allows bracketing on a per frame basis, or full manual. Its a great user friendly 35mm Film burner at a great price. Step out of auto and step into learning about your scene as it relates to high and low tones. This gem offers a different way of thinking from digital and its dirt cheap to own!

  • A familiar friend and worth the price.

    I have had one of these cameras for a very, very long time. Since the coming of the digital age, I have been concerned in the event something happened to the one I had that I weould not be able to find a "back up." This item fit my needs perfectly. Taking it in hand was as comforting as finding an old friend. I love and loved every feature. It is easy to use, just the right size as I have smaller hands and is not too heavy to carry for a full day of photography. Thought it was good value when I bought my first and was thrilled at the price I payed for this equipment. I do have a digital camera, but I still prefer the quality of pictures I get from this Minolta.
