Selling a great little kit with 3 nice Minolta lenses. Minolta lenses are among the best ever made. They are all color matched and have great coatings. I bought this kit for the reason of using these nice lenses with my Sony A7 and I've found they work great in that respect, especially the 45mm f2 lens, it gives a very nice rendering with the digital camera body. The subject is VERY sharp and the background has nice bokeh and the result is a very 3D rendering in the photographs.
So, The kit includes the XG1 camera body with a motor drive included, everything works and works well. The meter is accurate and works in aperture priority mode among other modes. The viewfinder is nice, big, and bright and has a few dusts in it but nothing distracting. There are a few very minor bright marks on the chrome but no dings or dents, looks great for it's age. The leatherette all looks good but you can see that there are 4 small Zeiss bumps on the back panel. If one wanted, these can be cleaned off if you were to carefully pull the covering away and then re-glue it. Motor drive works well, about 2 frames per second. The lenses ALL are near mint with no issues whatsoever, no scratches, no fungus, no haze. The lenses include the 28mm f2.8 with hood, the 45mm f2, and the 135mm f3.5 with retractible hood. I'd love to sell the kit as one but will take offers on the individual pieces. The 28mm is the better one with 5 groups of 7 elements.
Price is $150.00 OBO shipped in the USA.
