For Sale Minolta XG-M/ truly remarkable condition...

This camera looks as though it just came off the dealer's shelf...extraordinary condition...not a scratch, not a blemish (other than seals)...the plastic peel-off is still on the bottom plate.

Minolta XG-M with Minolta 50mm, f2 lens, strap, case, all caps, and all the original paperwork you can think of, including the sales slip: Brooks Cameras 08/20/81, 5:57 PM. This is for the wife of a friend of mine, who hadn't used it in decades, and stored it on the upper shelf of her closet (I mention that because we're not talking damp basement or garage). Everything is almost truly mint--there's a fingernail mark on the case, and then there's the seals which need replacing (I could do it, but didn't want to touch the camera). The lens is spectacular. Price is $80.00US and $11.25 USA Priority shipping and insurance.

I have one of these. It's actually the model that got me back into shooting film after years of snapshot digital.

It's a great little shooter, but I pretty much never use small format and when I do, I either use Konica or Nikon gear because I have a better assortment of lenses for them.

Yours is in much greater condition though. Mine was a junker from a thrift store. However even in the condition it was in, it never gave me any problems.

just wondering if you checked the battery compartment....looks like a really nice camera.

B...well, like you, I mostly use a larger format and refer to a Contax G1 or Rollei 35 if the situation warrants, otherwise I would own this one...

P...clean as a whistle, as they say...takes two standard button batteries...

...last call...on the way to eBay...make an offer if you'd like...
