He is quickly learning the ropes, and as we buy inexpensive additions such as a flash and different lenses, he learns more and more., If you want to learn how to take photos with skill and style, this camera is for you. It isnt fancy, camera snobs distain the thing, but it cant be beat.http://www.majcentrum.pl/user_uploads/file/elevator-manual-pdf.xml

Youll learn the art of photography with this camera, and it truly rocks oldschool., My only worry is that film will become difficult, if not impossible, to buy. Then well see the end of a truly lovely era in photography.. Read full review Read less Verified purchase No by 8370221 January 07, 2010 Minolta, Only the best for my photos I have been a photographer for years and have numerous cameras both 35 MM and digital. I began taking photos when I was 10 years old with a Kodak Pony 35 35 MM camera. During my early years I took literally thousands of slides. my favorite media I began being more serious about photography when I started college. I took all the photos for the yearbook, developed them, and designed the yearbook for 3 years. I took hundreds of photos while there and then I was recognized by the local newspaper as a good photographer and began having my work published in lots of newspapers. I became the official photo guru for the college and covered all the important events with my cameras. My first camera was a Yashica J7 SLR for these photos. I later purchased a Yashica Electro 35 and a Mat 124 G for student photos for the yearbook. These cameras were used for years and as a matter of fact I still have them all and use them regularly for photos. I have a total of 9 cameras, 2 of them are digital. Yet, when I go on a trip simply to shoot photos, there is always at least 3 35 MM film cameras with me. I simply have the film put on CD and then I can do what I wish with them once they are digital. I borrowed a good friends camera while my two best were in being tuned up. It was a Minolta XG1 and I took a half dozen roles of film with it. This changed my opinion about Minolta. This is a simple camera but took flawless photos. I do semipro photography work and have a few published in various places. At 74 years of age, I want a good really prolevel camera that doesnt make mistakes. So I found a Minolta XG1 on EBay at a reasonable price and bought it.http://sunwoodrealestate.com/sunwood/img/userfiles/callaway-razr-rangefinder-manual.xml
It works really well and I liked it so much I purchased a Minolta X700 35 MM camera which in my opinion is one of the finest ever produced. EBay is a fantastic place to find photographic items at a reasonable price. I purchase cameras and camera related items from EBay on a regular basis. If you carefully read and pay attention to what the seller says about the item, you can get real value for your dollar. I am a confirmed EBay buyer and a Minolta camera freek now. Plan on purchasing some other items for all my cameras in the near future. Digital is OK but there is nothing like 35 MM film cameras for photography. I have digital also but never leave home without my 35 MM cameras. EBay is awsome to purchase thru. The stuff turns to tar over time. This is not a difficult job, and Interslices generic light seal kit will walk you through it., No TTL flash metering like on the X570 or X700, so youll have to either calculate flash exposure manually or use flashes with a sensor on them., The leatherette tends to shrink and peel away from the body. The Cameraleather website can sell you new stuff.,, This specific review is for the XG1, but except for the XGA and XGM all the rest of the XGs are mostly the same. For most users, Id recommend that camera instead. As a first in the lineup of Minolta SLRs, these cameras were inoperable without a battery. They still used the outdated CdS metering system and had a competitive cloth shutter. By just slightly touching the release button, the photographer activated the electronics and the LEDs lit up for about 15 seconds. The XG series had a dedicated motor drive, the Winder G and the flagship of the series, the XGM, could even be mounted on the 3.5fps Motor Drive 1. Also a data back, the Data Back G was available. This series can be seen as the ancestor of the most successful of all manual Minolta SLRs, the famous Minolta X700.Many of its features continued through to later XGseries bodies.
All models were available in either chrome and black finish or with an allblack body.It has a centerweighted metering system with two CdS cells and a mattefresnelfield focusing screen with a horizontal splitimage spot surrounded by a microprism field. Unfortunately in manual mode the LED does not show the metered shutter time. The bottom of the camera has coupling for the Winder G, introduced with the camera. The main power switch has a self timer setting, which delays the shutter actuation for approximately 10 seconds. A red light on the front flashes until the shutter fires. The same light is used for the B.C. battery check setting of the main switch. The flash shoe is the same as with the XD series and has a second small contact. This contact synchronizes the camera with a dedicated Minolta XFlash like the Auto Electroflash 200X. Besides the Xcontact in the flash shoe, it has a flash terminal at the lens bayonet. Next to it is a socket for an electronic cable release like Remote Cord S or L or a mechanical cable release. The camera doesnt have a stopdown button.Metering is done by depressing the shutter button halfway. The shutter speed then selected by the camera is shown in the viewfinder by a red LED. This is indicated by a red triangle in the viewfinder. Stop down the lens until a shutter speed is shown and youre ready to shoot again. Reviews on the web suggest Minolta wanted to avoid confusion.It was basically a XGE with a less informative finder display and a nondetachable back door. It was available in two versions in chrome finishing only and was an export model, not sold in Japan.Later that year, the XG 1 was replaced by the XG1n with a new body design with a plastic front grip like the XGM. It has the Acute Matte focusing screen and a red M light in the viewfinder when not in auto mode and thus when the meter is not working. The XG1n finally got the memo holder on the back door.
Although the box, manual and other literature refer to this camera as XG1n, the camera itself is engraved with XG1. Like the XG1 it was an export model.Outside Japan, this model was known as XG 9, and with its improvements, it addressed some weak points of the XGE, which it replaced. Both bodies were available in chrome or black finish.It was available in four versions.The top cover was slightly redesigned.In 1982 the camera got the new rising sun logo. These models were available in black only and were exported.It was a completely new design and looked like a twin sister to the Minolta X700, introduced eight months later. It replaced the XG 9 in its markets. The XGM was available in chrome only. The Japanese version was labelled X70 chrome finish only, emphasizing its position as a little sibling of the Minolta X700, and it was introduced after the Minolta X700.Having all the features of the XGS, this was now a more versatile tool for photographing. The ASA setting and exposure adjustment move to the rewind crank, the main switch under the shutter dial and the self timer get a dedicated switch close to the bayonet mount. The brand new Motor Drive 1 could be mounted, as well as the older Winder G and the Data Back G.It lacks the piezo beeper of the X7 and the PC sync terminal and the film door is not detachable. In contrast to the Japanonly X7, this was an export model for the North American market. It was the last member of the XG family, being introduced in 1982, and available in chrome finish only.

Hayley 2.0 out of 5 stars When it first arrived on the inside it looked like there was sand in the grooves and inside where the film is kept.
I had to go get it cleaned before i could put film into it. After that the camera was working great until about 2 film rolls later then halfway through shoting a roll it would get stuck as if the roll was finished. I tried replacing the battery using new film and still came across the same issue. So I had to wind up the rest of my film before i could finish using it all, 3 different times. Overall the picture quality did come out great when the film was developed the lightmeter on the inside worked. Because of the issues i had above im rating it a 2.Now, about the camera. Very solid build quality, and it just looks nice. Im a pretty seasoned photographer, and Ive always shot 35 mm. Therefore Im used to using cameras manually setting shutter speed, aperture, iso etc etc; but, this cameras aperture priority I forget the official name mode is absolutely wonderful. This is very cool for onthefly street photography or other similar cases, just focus the lens and fire that shutter. This camera is everything you need to get started in 35 mm photography, or its just fun to have around even as a seasoned photographer like me. Definitely worth it! Also, dont know why the images I attached are sideways. Amazon, fix this lolI was given a giant lense that didnt even fit the camera. I opened up the back of the camera and black powder came out of the camera. The camera was very dirty and not cleaned at all. I will be returning. Worst purchase Ive ever made on amazon.Well it turns out there is a problem. I’m no expert but I was shown by someone with camera experience that the shutter speed doesn’t work with the shutter. The shutter stays open for as long as you hold the button down as opposed to only staying open for the set amount of time. This camera is unusable now and I have to find another one since I bought this for a photography class.Product was even better than described. Highly recommend. Will continue to get all my photo needs from this seller.
Looks cool and vintage but it still relatively easy to work once u get the hang of film photography, im very pleased.

It was also known as the X70 on the Japanese market, in which it was not available until 1982. When released, it was the top model in Minoltas XG series of consumergrade manual focus SLRs, replacing the XG9. Changes from that model included a metered manual mode the XG9s meter was switched off in manual, and a revised body style with rearranged controls. This was also the first camera to use Minoltas new logo, which was used until the 2003 merger into Konica Minolta.The self timer was relocated to a switch on the front of the camera, on the lefthand side of the mirror housing. A new main onoff switch was placed beneath the shutter speed dial. The lock button for the shutter speed dial also functioned as a battery check; the front LED, also used for the selftimer, lit when that button was pressed and the batteries held adequate charge. Film speed and exposure compensation settings were moved to beneath the rewind knob.For aperture priority shooting, the shutter speed dial was set to the A auto position. The photographer would set the aperture on the lens, which would be visible in the viewfinder by means of a small periscope beneath the image. The camera would decide on the correct shutter speed according to the reading of its centerweighted average metering.
This would be displayed in the viewfinder a column on the right of the image showed all the shutter speeds, and an LED would light next to the chosen speed. The automatically selected exposure could be adjusted by means of the exposure compensation dial on the left; compensation of plus or minus 2 stops could be selected in halfstop increments.However, to select a shutter speed, the camera had to be removed from the eye; the speed selected was not shown in the viewfinder.The photographer did have to set the correct aperture for flash photography according to subject distance; a guide was available on the back of Minoltas flashes.Retrieved on July 11, 2006.

Ive been getting blanket camera repair estimates only. Thank you. Sincerely, Rob What was the material it was made of. Was it black foam or black felt like the light seals. Or was it thin rubber If you get light smearing or refractions in the photos, it was some sort of light seal. If your metering is off, then maybe it was a seal for the metering electronics. I will load file, thanks. My XG1N has this gasket but I dont see it on my SRT101.

The Minolta XG1, introduced in 1978, was the second autoexposure camera model of the XGseries of 35mm SLR film cameras produced from Minolta. Launched one year after the more sophisticated XG7, the XG1 was a lowerpriced alternative. The model, however, is still fitted with the Touch Switch system, which put cameras electronics in standby when powered up and activated by a touch of the shutter button. It is still an excellent pedigree not only for the enthusiast who wants to shoots mainly in automatic exposure mode but is equally adept for those who want a camera that has a full manual mode capability, and adaptability to motorized film advance. You see me take the pictures, and my reaction when I see them for the first time. It was so fun and I had to learn a lot. I plan on shooting more with film in the future. The shutter is stepless in automatic mode and instep in manual mode.The XG1, however, is not fitted with DoF Depth of Field capability as found on later XGseries models. A hotshoe is fitted on top of the pentaprism. Complementing the top plane is the singlestroke film forward crank, film frame counter, and a small elongated film safeload indicator window.
The XG1 can be fitted with the Minolta AutoWinder G. Film loading is the standard 2blank shots to forward the film to frame 1. The Film Safe Load indicator will show a red indicator if the film is properly loaded. Viewfinder Readout Over and underexposures are indicated by LED arrowheads at the top and bottom of the vertical bar, and a flashready indicator LED when the camera is used with a compatible flash unit. FIlm rewind on the XG1 the same as most other manual film load cameras is a twostep process. First press the film rewind release located on the bottom plate of the camera, next, pull the film rewind crank handle out from its rest position, and use the lever as the handle to turn the crank clockwise until the film roll is rewound completely into its canister. Next pull the rewind crank assembly up to release the film back latch, and remove the film roll. Battery. The XG1 requires a pair of 1,5 volt SR44 or LR44 button cells to operate the electronic shutter and metering system. The camera will not work once the batteries are depleted or exhausted. Convenient enough, these cells are as easily available. Camera Body Weight. The XG1 weighs 490 grams without batteries. The XGseries cameras were in production in tandem MDseries lenses and I believe as I do not have the whole lens collection that the lenses will be completely compatible and will work flawlessly with XGseries cameras. You may find this lens in the form of the Minolta MC Rokkor 50mm F2 1973, Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm F2 1977, both are with 55mm filter thread, or the Minolta MD 50mm F2 1981, which comes with a 49mm filter thread.

Lasting from 1977 to 1984, the XG line had a total of 6 models and a few redesigns. One of these redesigns was to the 1978 release of the lower end XG1 model. This newly updated version debuted in 1981 and was deemed the XG1n. Leaving behind the 70s style of the XD line, this newly updated body was to be the standard for the next decade for Minolta. Although not much has changed besides the appearance, you did get the upgrades of a film memo holder, a textured handgrip, and the newly implemented AcuteMatte Screen technology. The camera has a more plastic feel then previous Minolta series, but still has some weight and solid construction. Like the other cameras in the XG line, the XG1n is an aperture priority camera with the option of a manual mode. The viewfinder is a decent size and bright, and features split image focusing with a microprism ring surrounding. There is very useful information in the viewfinder for when youre in aperture priority mode.
Being that both the XG1 and XG1n were lower end models, they took some cost cutting measures. I have noticed slower shutter speed times then 1 second in the aperture priority mode, but no such times are indicated in the manual. I would say somewhere between 10 to 20 seconds sounds reasonable. To the right of the logo, along the side of the lens mount, you have the lens release button, the shutter release socket, and the PC socket. To the left of the logo, under the XG1 moniker, there is a square red LED to indicate the 10 second self timer or battery check feature. From left to right you have the film rewind crank that doubles as the release for the camera back if you pull up. Under that is the power switch with the addition of a few different modes. You have a wheel that clicks into place for the ON, OFF and SELF TIMER modes but has a spring that pushes you back to ON when you turn it to the B.C. or Battery Check setting. There is a hot shoe PC sync on the front with an extra contact for Minolta XSeries Auto Electroflashes. To the right of the hot shoe, you have the shutter speed dial coupled with the ISO setting. When the dial goes into Aperture priority mode, the dial locks, and to release you need to push a small square button, above the dial, to go back into manual. Under that is the ISO in a small window. You set the ISO from 25 to 1600 by pulling up on the dial. There is also a strange system for adjusting the exposure by stops. Normally there is a separate dial to handle this function, but on the XG1n it is printed to the left of the dial and lines up the number when its in manual. It’s not a big deal, but you do have to manually change it yourself with no option of exposure adjustment in Aperture Priority mode. In the middle of the dial is a new feature that started with the XG line of Minolta cameras, the touch sensitive shutter button. A very cool feature where after 10 or so seconds of inactivity, the meter turns off.
All that’s needed is a slight touch to the button to turn the meter back on. A great overall system for a power saving type of mode. To the right of the dial is the film winding lever, along with the safe load signal and frame counter. On the bottom of the camera you have the slotted compartment for the battery, which can be taken off easily with a coin. The XGn is an all electric camera and requires 2 LR44 batteries to run. A typical tripod socket and film rewind button are found on the bottom as well. But in addition to those you have a couple of guide pin sockets, couplers, and electrical contacts for the auto winder accessories. The Specs and Features It was the first SLR camera I ever used, and I was enamored with it. Focusing was a whole new challenge from the other point and shoots I and most other kids of the time were used to. The camera is undeniably great for beginners, and I learned the film basics with the aperture priority mode and meter. Like most cameras in the XG line, the meter turns off when you are in manual mode. It was the result of a cost saving measure, but I cannot imagine how much money they saved from that. I own two XG1n cameras, and they both suffered from the problem of a small ball bearing coming loose and causing the switch to move freely. You can still operate the camera like this, but large movements can move the switch and turn off the camera or put it into the self timer mode. Quite an easy fix if you still have the bearing and spring, all you need to do is position them back in the correct place, tighten the switch and youre golden. Other then those two problems I don’t think there are any major flaws for the camera. If you a beginner or a student, I would say this is the perfect camera for you. It’s a sturdy and well built camera, with easy to use controls, a well designed layout, easily accessible batteries and an amazing price point for anyone.
