Minolta XD5 with Vivitar Series 1 35-85mm f/2.8 & Auto 132X Flash

Minolta XD5 with Vivitar Series 1 35-85mm f/2.8 & Auto 132X Flash - Good Condition | 35mm SLR Camera | Advanced Dual-Mode Hybrid with Elite "Series 1" Zoom

The Minolta XD5 (S/N: 4112694) is a masterfully engineered SLR, derived from the legendary XD7—the world’s first camera to offer both Aperture-Priority and Shutter-Priority auto-exposure. Paired with the iconic Vivitar Series 1 35-85mm f/2.8 variable-focus lens (S/N: 22004123), this kit offers professional-grade versatility. The lens is a cult favorite, known for its fast constant f/2.8 aperture and clinical sharpness that rivaled prime lenses of the era. Complete with the Minolta Auto 132X flash (S/N: 91175057), this setup provides the mechanical soul and optical brilliance required for everything from fast-paced street photography to controlled studio portraits.

Key Features

• Dual-mode exposure system: Aperture-Priority (A) and Shutter-Priority (S) modes

• Elite Vivitar Series 1 35-85mm f/2.8 lens with high-speed constant aperture

• High-precision Seiko electromagnetic metal shutter for smooth, quiet operation

• Advanced "Final Check" metering system for surgical exposure accuracy

• Minolta Auto 132X dedicated flash for seamless low-light synchronization

• Large, bright viewfinder with high-visibility LED shutter speed indicators

• Universal Minolta SR/MD mount providing access to legendary Rokkor glass

Condition Report Good condition. The camera body (S/N: 4112694) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear. The Vivitar Series 1 lens is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or scratches, with a smooth zoom/focus action. The electromagnetic shutter and light meter are fully functional. The Auto 132X flash has been tested and syncs correctly with the body. The film transport and advance lever are crisp.

Specialist Note "The XD5 is one of the most sophisticated mechanical-electronic hybrids ever built. What makes this kit exceptional is the Vivitar Series 1 lens; in the 70s, 'Series 1' was the gold standard for third-party optics, and this 35-85mm f/2.8 was their masterpiece. It’s heavy, rugged, and incredibly sharp. When you pair that glass with the XD5's dual-mode versatility and the dedicated 132X flash, you have a professional-grade kit that can handle nearly any lighting situation. It’s an honest, rugged piece of engineering that represents the peak of the Minolta/Leica partnership era."
