  • I've got a hold of a Minolta XD11. Does anyone have any experience with this camera?

    I've had 3 (2 in chrome and 1 black) of them in the past year or so, anything in particular you would like to know?

    Beautiful camera, light, lovely metering, access to banging & cheap minolta MD and MC lenses
    These are all off the minolta xd7/11, using the Minolta MD f1.4 50mm lens with kodak colourplus 200;

    edit: oh also my favourite slr of all time, makes everything so easy.

  • Nothing specifically, just some general experience so I know whether to bother running a roll through it.
    Perfect response so thank you, I started shooting on it today. It has a lovely viewfinder and very nice build quality.
    Mine came with a 50mm 1.7, I may pick up a couple of lenses for it if the results are good. Refreshing to have metering again after using a Leica M3 for a couple of years

  • Ah right. Definitely worth putting a roll through. No real complaints or snags with it, it just goes. Only thing to be somewhat aware of is that there is no on/off switch so every time the shutter button is half pushed, the light meter is re-activated along with the slightly sensitive shutter button could lead to accidental shots.

    But apart from that, wonderful camera, so light and portable. Would be lovely to see the shots you've got with it once you're done.
