Minolta XD-5

Posted by Martin Schneider (Vienna, Austria) on 4 November 2006 in Miscellaneous.

This one actually belongs to my father who is in possession of several Minolta SLRs (e.g.: SR-T 303, XM, XE-1,...) and a range of lenses, filters, ... . If the photos are ready I will present shots I have done with this or other classic cameras. I have to say, although that you have to adjust either exposure-time or aperture manually (optionally both but I'm not that experienced) that these machines, compared to today's digital consumer camera's, are very reliable, fast and if you know at least the basics you can influence the picture exactly as you like. On the other hand it takes you longer to take a picture, mainly because of manual focus.
