I just started looking into professional SLRs and while everyone (nearly) has a Nikon F2, nobody has an X-1 / XK. Naturally, I want one!

Did you notice the preview lever can also be used to raise the mirror?

Great system camera! Wonderful overview- You’re my “go to” when I acquire a new “old” fine Japanese camera- please review the XD-11… I’m new to Minolta, and the MD Rokkor seems fabulous Many thanks for what you do, too

I was hoping you would pull out an XK Motor with a 40-80 f2.8 lever zoom.

The MC Rokkor PG 50 f1.4 is the best 50 f1.4 of all the major Japanese manufacturers

This caught me out. I fast forwarded three minutes, only to discover that it started just 30 seconds in this time!

Minolta MC/MD lenses are almost all stellar, excellent dollar:performance ratio. The 50 1.4 isn't the sharpest lens wide open, but they have a very lovely soft quality to them that lends itself perfectly to portrait photography. Stopped down to f2 and below, it's a very sharp lens.

I have the 1.4 on my XD11 and I have no complaints about the setup.

I'm getting used to my Minolta Flash Meter V & see what looks like this in ybe manual foe yhe Booster II. I'd like to try 1

This camera has aperture priority or full manual capability. It doesn’t do shutter priority.
