I've never used one myself, but it seems like a very good buy if the price is right. <br /><br />Minolta was a really good camera maker, and they only disappeared because they were too slow to adopt the auto-everything design concept. If you're not in a hurry, a manual camera is of course more fun, so they're a really good buy nowadays. <br /><br />Here's some good information on it: <a href="http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/minoltax700/index.htm" rel="nofollow">Minolta x700</a>Jan Morenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834641501438709866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455782214242472677.post-25491727572497649162011-03-18T21:30:43.709+09:002011-03-18T21:30:43.709+09:00hi.

I was thinking of buying a minolta x700 film camera from an antique shop, it was still working. i wont be using it for work or everyday activities, i just thought that it looked really cool because we love older stuff rather than the modern ones. i would really appreciate it if you could share a few ideas about that model. i just want to make sure that its would be worth every penny. :) thanks so muchMariaSoledadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455782214242472677.post-60707409545902928032010-01-25T20:30:39.818+09:002010-01-25T20:30:39.818+09:00Never tried the OM1.

The 1st is a horizontal focusing split for faster, more precise focusing (IMO) and the 2nd is aperture readout in the viewfinder. Otherwise the early 101a and the 102a are indentical right down ot the mirror lockup (MLU). I love both though I actually current get greater satisfaction out of my 101a since I used it so long as a youngster.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850462579151791641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455782214242472677.post-13773410876985241892009-05-05T13:21:00.000+09:002009-05-05T13:21:00.000+09:00Best camera ever!Best camera ever!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455782214242472677.post-17349228739278619972009-03-27T06:57:00.000+09:002009-03-27T06:57:00.000+09:00Congrats!
