Minolta XD5 + MD Rokkor 50mm 1.7
The Minolta XD5 is a compact, Capable, and Classically Designed 35mm SLR Camera. Released in 1979 as a slightly simplified version of the XD7 (XD11 in the US), the Minolta XD5 retains the same compact body and excellent dual-mode automatic exposure, but omits the viewfinder information display. It remains a fully capable and refined 35mm SLR with a mechanical soul and electronic precision.
Key Features:
Lens Mount: Minolta SR bayonet mount – compatible with MC and MD Rokkor lenses.
Exposure Modes: Shutter-priority and aperture-priority auto exposure + full manual control.
Shutter: Electronically controlled metal-blade shutter, 1s to 1/1000s + Bulb; 1/100s mechanical fallback.
Viewfinder: Bright with split-image and microprism focusing aid; displays selected shutter speed.
Metering: TTL center-weighted metering with LED readout.
Build: Compact and robust metal construction, smooth advance and shutter action.
Extras: Self-timer, depth-of-field preview, and exposure compensation dial.
