Minolta X-500

Out of stock
The Minolta X-500 (known as the X-570 in North America) is a 35mm SLR that sits just below the X-700 in the lineup, though many enthusiasts prefer it for its improved viewfinder information. It offers both aperture-priority auto-exposure and full manual control. Crucially, in manual mode, the viewfinder displays both the user-selected shutter speed and the recommended speed, making it an excellent tool for learning exposure.
