Condition:

This camera is in excellent physical condition after restoration and CLA (Cleaning, Lubrication and adjustment) It is fully functional and ready for use.

 The Minolta X-370 & 370s cameras are my opinion one of the most underrated cameras on the market for learning film photography.  It is very compact, light weight and reliable.  I see a lot of cameras come across my work bench and consistently the X-370's more simplistic electronics package continues to work when I see Canon, Pentax and even even the higher end versions of the Minolta line have failed, only to become a shelf queen.  If your considering diving into film photography but don't have much experience with it, the X-370 is a fantastic entry point.  The digital exposure meter in the viewfinder is incredibly easy to understand and you can shoot in full manual mode or aperture priority mode with ease.  The X-370 also gives you an entry point into the fabulous line of Minolta ROKKOR glass, which is renowned for its optical performance.  I personally own a version of most analog cameras from the major brands.  When I travel or go on a hike, I often reach for this camera because of its compact size and low weight (plus its truly a joy to use).  You won't go wrong with this camera.  Instead of buying the overpriced Pentax K1000 and Canon AE-1, give this camera a shot, you won't be sorry you did.
