A freidn of mine gave me three Minolta lenses his father left him. So I bid and won for a Minolta X-700 with a Motordrive. I got it for an astonishing 47 Euro. (X-700s and XGMs are geberally not auctioned on Ebay Germany but sold with buy now Options at ridculously inflated Prices)

So I tried it with all my lenses. The Viewfinder Image is very blurry. Even the Speeds inthe VF are blurry.:bang: Otherwise the camera is in excellent shape. The Speeds semm to be OK. The light react as expected.
Is it the prism?

Thanks in advance Folks
 
Might be a diopter on the viewfinder, which should just slip off if it is, or it could be a missing lens in the viewfinder. If the numbers are blurry it isn't the prism.
 
A diopter was the first Thing I checked after i had for years a Retina with a bad VF that turned out to have a Diopter.
A salesclerk who checked it also thought it ws the Prism. Thanks for the Input Rpnnie and scrambler!
