Minolta X1 and XM SLR Film Camera

[@thomasfx3190]

I just started looking into professional SLRs and while everyone (nearly) has a Nikon F2, nobody has an X-1 / XK. Naturally, I want one!

Did you notice the preview lever can also be used to raise the mirror?

Great system camera!
Wonderful overview- You’re my “go to” when I acquire a new “old” fine Japanese camera- please review the XD-11… I’m new to Minolta, and the MD Rokkor seems fabulous
Many thanks for what you do, too

I was hoping you would pull out an XK Motor with a 40-80 f2.8 lever zoom.

This caught me out. I fast forwarded three minutes, only to discover that it started just 30 seconds in this time!

This camera has aperture priority or full manual capability. It doesn’t do shutter priority.

The MC Rokkor PG 50 f1.4 is the best 50 f1.4 of all the major Japanese manufacturers
