Minolta Rangefinder Camera
Minolta A5, enjoy full manual control.
I purchased this used 5 years ago and have lightly maintained it.
The exterior is in average condition, with the original leatherette replaced with red genuine leather.
The lens has been cleaned, but there is some dust and partial coating degradation on the rear element.
The half-mirror had deteriorated, so it has been reinforced with a commercially available half-mirror sheet, and the double image is clear and has been adjusted.
The shutter fires at all speeds, but is about one stop over (the 1-second setting fires in about 2 seconds).
I've included three photos I've taken with it in the past, so please use them as a reference for image quality.
The images are sharp.
The film used is ILFORD XP2 Super 400.
This film is black and white, but can be developed using the C-41 process, just like color negatives, so you can have it developed at a local camera shop.
Since it's a full manual camera, you can use a commercially available light meter like a Sekonic, or use a smartphone app (like Lightmeter).
By the way, I usually shoot by estimation, but black and white film has a wide latitude, so even if the exposure is slightly off, it can be corrected during development.
That's part of the fun!
The items included are the camera body and a red shutter button.
A strap is not included, but this camera can be directly attached to a strap without the need for strap lugs.
Please ask if you have any questions.
Thank you for your consideration.
