What kind of camera is the Minolta XD?
The Minolta XD is a manual-focus camera from the 70’s. It’s been my favorite camera since I bought my first XD body back in late 2003 because it gets great results and it’s a downright joy to use. When it was introduced, this camera was the top of Minolta’s X- line, and a competitor to such famous models as Canon’s A-1.
Where is the self timer on a Minolta XD?
The self-timer on the right-hand camera front, is only released mechanically. The film rewind release-button, which also permits multiple exposures, as well as the winder coupling, the 3-volt battery compartment, and the ¼-inch tripod socket are located on the bottom.
Is the Minolta XD off the film metering reliable?
Off-the-film metering was one of the more sophisticated varieties available at the time of the camera’s release, and remains extremely precise despite three decades of advances in film. With the XD I seldom find bracketing to be necessary, as the meter is reliable.
