Condition Descriptions
Please read our Guarantee.
Mint
Factory's MINT cameras and lenses have been overhauled or serviced to precise, like-new or near-mint specifications. All our mint items are Factory Certified and guaranteed to work flawlessly after our professional repair or CLA service.
Excellent
Factory items rated as EXCELLENT are thoroughly tested and inspected with task-specific equipment (shutter speed testers, for example) to ensure they function properly and accurately. Any existing flaws will be documented, but they will not impact typical use.
Good
All items with status GOOD are hand-tested, inspected, and confirmed to be in good working order. These items perform well, but may just show signs of use and wear, i.e. they are not in perfect cosmetic condition. Flaws will be noted, but they will not affect typical use.
Fair
All items marked as FAIR may have flaws that could affect how smoothly an item operates (a rear door may stick when being opened, or a lens focus ring may turn roughly). But even if the camera or lens doesn’t perform like new, or isn't in prime cosmetic condition, it still functions properly.
Please note that since FAIR items did not meet our quality control standards, we do not guarantee their performance or condition. Items are sold as-is.
Note: Unit will have new light seals (not shown in photos)
The Minolta XG-M is a 35mm manual-focus SLR introduced in 1981, offering both aperture-priority autoexposure and full manual control. Its electronically controlled shutter ranges from 1 to 1/1000 second, with a bulb mode for long exposures. The camera features a center-weighted TTL metering system and a bright viewfinder displaying shutter speeds via LEDs. Compatible with Minolta’s MD-mount lenses, the XG-M also supports motorized film advance with the optional Motor Drive 1. Its durable metal and plastic body, weighing approximately 531 grams, makes it a reliable choice for both beginners and seasoned film photographers.
