Re: Vintage film cameras
i've picked up another XD5, don't know why. It was on one of the ebay charity shop sites with a Tokina ATX 28-80 listed as untested/spares and repair but at a bargain price. I was the only bidder and struck lucky. It's in great nick and working perfectly. Lens is clean too.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Sorry I haven't replied, started a new job and hadn't seen the reply. Was it a good deal on the XD5? I had one that I found at a car boot sale but it never worked properly. I do have the XD7 that I found on marketplace. As with all Minoltas, they are a nice camera. Quite compact and feature filled.

Re: Vintage film cameras
The XDs are wonderful. The loveliest sounding shutter there is. Only £13.99 for the camera and lens so a good deal I think. Only missing the self timer lever. Not a worry as I rarely use them but the perfectionist in me will want to look for a junk XD to cannibalise.
Good that you found a new job so quickly. What did you go for? |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Port work. I think I have an XD carcass, I'll see if the self timer lever is still there or not.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Impressive. Looks like you've out and about reducing the length of your camera queue.
No worries about the timer lever. I bagged a junk xd5 for 11 quid. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Blimey, I've just posted off a couple of rolls of Lomo 800, I got them for Christmas so it's been most of the year on them! One I loaded in summer (Contessamat), the other back in Jan (Super A).
How's the new job going? Congrats by the way. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
I know you lot are a little slower with your films, maybe I need to ease off as my stash is dwindling. All going well so far, just waiting for more training.
