Minolta X-700 Film Camera

By now you have read or researched enough to know the specs, technical data, and other functions that this model can do. Aperture priority, Shutter priority, Auto, etc... I rate this 35mm as excellent because it has withstood the test of time and delivered. Of all the 35mm SLR's in this class, the X-700 has the proper size, feel, and weight. It is built extremely tough and it holds up. Durability is achieved through the test of time and the X-700 has mastered an excellent rating with me for coming out on top in its class for these other reasons as well. The MD lens line and most importantly, the 50mm 1.4 MD Rokkor lens. Most people tend to use this focal length the most in picture taking and it's a superb choice in quality that is as accurate as they come. If you research lens quality you will realize this. Lenses for the Minolta line are plentiful and inexpensive which is another plus, you can experiment and create for tons less while maintaining a high quality level. When other cameras developed strange sounds, mirrors don't flip out of the way and effect exposures, lenses are hard to find, lenses are too expensive, accesories are hard to find and expensive? The X-700 virtually beats them into the ground. Great feel, it was built sturdy and fits your hands extremely well giving you the confidence to take the shots you need. Time tested durability. Availability galore, accessories, gadgets, lenses all readily available on the open market at inexpensive prices topped with equal quality to anything in its class.
