Pros: My Second Camera, I'll Never Forget It....

Cons: Nothing other times...!! We are talking about 44 years ago...

Opinion: My dear second camera, I bought it new because the first one was stolen from me was a Zenit-E I bought it used from Europhoto in Turin. I took this Minolta XG1 New chrome beautiful I had tears in my eyes I was happy at first in the purchase, but later I was sorry that they stole the Zenit-E said I remember little of the Minolta now 44 years have passed I only know that I was shooting screaming, I took photos in the studio for the identity cards for a store just to learn, and then many, many Slides... From there the doors opened in the world of photography, even better than before with the Zenit-E in the mountains, at the sea, in the city, where I used to shoot.... Happy to take photos. It has never given problems for at least almost ten years... Cheers to all.... (MGNELLO)

Pros: Toughness, good exposure system, extended optical park.

Cons: Operating the camera in manual mode.

Opinion: C that absurdly repeated with the XG-9 model. The manufacturer finally remedied by marketing the Minolta XG-M, which has proved a very good camera.

Pros: Construction, small footprint, aperture priority

Cons: Viewfinder a little 'dark

Opinion: Very robust, flawless mechanics. Semiautomatic, two modes: aperture priority and fully manual. In the first case, the diaphragm is set by turning the lens ring is mounted, the machine chooses the most suitable time on the basis of the indication of the exposure meter. Touching the shutter button, the time will be used is shown in the viewfinder, which is a time scale and a red dot appears next to the value in use. ASA films selected: 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200. The viewfinder is slightly dark - but it can be a problem due to opacification due time. Self-timer to 10 seconds and the button for controlling charge / discharge of the batteries. The silhouette is slim and compact machine is the outlet.
