I finally have this Minolta XD5 after we all forgot about it!
I was ~8 years old I saw this camera and got interested. My dad said that I'd get it on my 16th birthday. But we all forgot about it for many years. I'm 31 now and we got it from the back of a cupboard.
It all works perfectly. I tested:
- Loading film
- Winding film
- Rewinding film
- Auto light sensing
- "Green for go" mode i.e. auto aperture with auto shutter speed mode
- Fully manual mode
- Self timer
The lenses are pristine with no fungus.* Those censored pieces of paper are a service for the camera in 1998 which costed £67.56 and the receipt for the autowinder.
It was all stored without batteries so no leaking!
*I made another post about a lens with apparent fungus - that was a subsequent purchase on a risky Ebay buy now that I'm getting into this hobby, nothing to do with this camera. That one's all cleaned up now.
