WITH lens. It's minty fresh and works perfectly.

Ha, I thought you found a hasselblad or phase one for 25 bucks somewhere...
That camera is pre konica merger, a real antique.

Dude... I heard of a guy who found a HUGE box of Alpas for like $200, IIRC. And I've heard tales of Hasselblad finds like that. I did find a 1600F for $300, and bought it almost immediately. Unfortunately that camera's dead and gone.

I don't know a lot about the older Minoltas, but I have an x-700 and loved it when I still dabbled in film.

It's an autofocus 35mm motor driven SLR. It has a center AF point, which is great practice for my Hassy.
