Minolta XD5 + motor + teleconverter | Single lens reflex camera (SLR)

Offered is this Minolta XD5, a high-quality 35mm analog SLR camera from the late 70s. The XD series is known as one of Minolta’s most advanced and reliably built cameras, loved by both photographers and collectors.

The XD5 was one of the first SLR cameras to combine aperture priority (A-mode) and shutter speed priority (S-mode) in a single body, alongside fully manual operation. This makes the camera particularly versatile and user-friendly.

The body is compatible with the renowned Minolta MD and MC lenses, celebrated for their excellent optical quality.

The mirror of the camera is a bit dusty; cleaning is needed, but I prefer to leave that to the new owner. The mirror responds well, the timings seem correct, but due to its age, accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The autowinder is also still fully functional.
