Minolta XD5 SLR 35mm Film Camera with Rokkor-X 50mm f/1.7 Lens Working NICE

The Minolta XD5 figures among the Minolta camera family as one of the little brothers, but not for this fact we should think is a lesser performer.

It features Auto mode but it also can be set on manual mode, aperture priority or shutter priority, which makes it very versatile and worthy for flied trips, photo walks and even in the studio. 

When used with the 50mm f/1.7 the camera performs beautifully on sunny days, but also get the most of shadows and textures even if used indoors, obviously a proper film should be used for each situation.
