Free Minolta X-370 Camera

[cary]

This is a Minolta X-370, Auto Winder G and several manuals, for the price of postage. Also comes with a Minolta 50mm f1.7 MD lens in near mint condition. Both worked when I last tested them a year ago. USA only. Please send a PM if interested.

Nice camera and great lens, effectively enhanced by the winder!

The camera has Minolta's Acute Matte focusing screen, which is exceptionally bright and contrasty. The technology was licensed to Hasselblad to use on their cameras.

These cameras (X-700, X-570, and X-370) were actually pretty durable machines, aside from the easily repaired problem of release capacitors in a number of them.

The winder, in addition to auto-film-advance, offers greater gripping surface and stability, and it balances nicely with larger lenses. (My X-570 and winder seem like they were just made to combine with my somewhat-hefty 85mm f1.7 lens.)

Overall, this is a great combination.
Enjoy it John (assuming you are the one receiving it)!
Nice gift, cary!

Thank you for your kind words. I received the camera during one of our Xmas giveaways. I used it a couple of times and decided to pass it on.
