Minolta XD-5 35mm SLR Kit with MD Rokkor 50mm f/1.7

Minolta XD-5 35mm SLR Kit with MD Rokkor 50mm f/1.7 - Good Condition | Classic Professional Film Kit with Fast Standard Prime

The Minolta XD-5 paired with the MD Rokkor 50mm f/1.7 is a beautifully matched and refined 35mm film kit from Minolta's celebrated XD series. The XD-5 — known as the XD-7 in Europe and XD-11 in North America — is widely regarded as one of the finest manual focus SLRs ever produced, developed in close collaboration with Leitz and sharing engineering principles with the legendary Leica R4. The world's first camera to offer both Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority automatic exposure alongside full Manual mode, the XD-5 set a new benchmark for SLR versatility and refinement at its launch. The MD Rokkor 50mm f/1.7 is one of Minolta's most celebrated standard primes — sharp, fast, and beautifully rendering with the warm, natural character that Rokkor glass is universally renowned for. Serial numbers: Body 4120469 / Lens 5274098.
