Minolta X-700 35mm SLR Film Camera + 50mm f/1.7

The Minolta X-700 + 50mm f/1.7 is one of the all-time great enthusiast 35mm SLR setups and easily one of the most beloved cameras of the entire manual-focus era. Minolta really nailed the balance between automation and tactile manual shooting with the X-700, giving photographers a camera that feels approachable for beginners while still being genuinely satisfying for experienced shooters.

The X-700 became especially popular because it offers:

• Full program auto exposure
• Aperture priority shooting
• Full manual controls
• Bright, easy-to-use viewfinder
• Excellent ergonomics
• Access to Minolta’s fantastic Rokkor lens ecosystem

Paired with the classic 50mm f/1.7, this kit gives you a fast standard lens with beautiful Minolta color rendering, smooth focus feel, and excellent sharpness. The 50mm f/1.7 is widely considered one of the sleeper favorites of the Rokkor lineup.

This combination is perfect for:

• Street photography
• Everyday carry film shooting
• Portraits
• Learning manual exposure
• Anyone wanting a classic 1980s film SLR experience without fighting the camera

Condition: EXCELLENT
This camera kit is in excellent condition overall with only minor cosmetic signs of use. The camera is fully functional and operating properly.

The included 50mm f/1.7 lens has slight internal haze, which may introduce a subtle softness or lower contrast in difficult lighting situations, but remains very usable overall.

There is also a tiny scratch on the focusing screen near the edge. This does not affect recorded images and is only visible in the viewfinder under certain conditions.

Metering, shutter speeds, film advance, and controls are all functioning correctly.

Included:

• Minolta X-700 camera body
• Minolta 50mm f/1.7 lens
