Minolta Dynax 9Xi - Professional 35mm film camera body


I love this camera! - super fast and sexy. It works great with all Minolta AF and Sony Alpha lenses (see my other listings). Definitely one of Minolta's best kept secrets - IMHO

Some spec...

This camera is in excellent very clean and little-used condition. Everything feels fresh in operation and is working correctly. I can guarantee it to be fully working as I have used it on many occasions personally. 

It comes with a fresh lithium battery and the original Minolta PANORAMIC adapter which will automatically bring up the frame lines in the viewfinder if installed.
