1978 Minolta XD7 SLR Film Camera
I was recently gifted this Minolta XD7 camera. This example was from 1978 and was Minolta's flagship SLR camera at the time.
It hadn't been used for many, many years and unbelieveably the old batteries still had enough power in them to power the light meter. I've given it a good clean, new silver oxide batteries and a roll of Kodak Gold 200 and now we must wait and see what develops! Quite a long time since I've used an old film camera!
