Minolta X-700 Film Camera And A 50mm f/1.7 Manual Focus Lens

This camera is a real bargain for a 35mm film SLR. It is light weight, has durable plastic, has all the necessary features to get started and uses the MD mount lenses. The only set backs is that some may come with light leaks. I had bought two that had the same problem. I solved the problem by cutting strips of black sticky back sheets and inserted them around the edges of the film housing. The other setback is that the camera is totally battery dependant and will not work when the batteries die or not installed. Always install fresh batteries before going on a trip or vacation. Also take advantage of the great price range for the Rokkor lenses and build a nice collection at half the cost of modern lenses.
