Minolta X-700 + MD Rokkor 50mm f/1.7 Serviced & Ready to Use Film Camera

For Sale: Minolta X-700 (The Flagship) + MD Rokkor 50mm f/1.7

Up for sale is the legendary Minolta X-700, the most advanced manual focus camera Minolta ever made. Famous for its bright "Acformatter" viewfinder and the "Program" mode that makes high-end film photography as easy as point-and-shoot.

This body is paired with the classic MD Rokkor 50mm f/1.7 prime lens renowned for its razor-sharp image quality, superb contrast, and beautiful background bokeh. With its bright f/1.7 aperture, it is the perfect walkaround lens for low-light shooting, street photography, and sharp everyday portraits.

Viewfinder: One of the brightest ever made, with full LED information display.

Capacitor: This is a rare early Made in Japan build (Serial number: 1870329) with tentalum capacitor in this camera. It won't die and let the camera down as many X-700 do over time due to cheap capacitor included in the cheap later made in China build (Serial number starting by 2 or 3).

Versatility: Classic 50mm "nifty fifty" focal length with a fast f/1.7 aperture, ideal for low-light conditions and creating smooth, out-of-focus background bokeh.

Build: Smooth, precise focus ring and snappy aperture blades. Pure mechanical reliability.

Why buy here?
I specialize in Minolta. Unlike "untested" gambles, this X-700 has been thoroughly checked for the notorious "capacitor issue," completely cleaned, and light-sealed. It is 100% ready for professional use from day one.
