How to Use: Minolta X-700 - Kamerastore

The X-700 brought Minolta back into the conversation for competitively-priced, feature-rich 35mm SLRs and gave the Canon AE-1 Program some competition. This SLR packs a lot of fancy electronics into its 80s-styled body, and Connor is here to help break down what all the buttons, dials, and switches do!
