CONDITION:
As you can see from the pictures, the camera has no real wear but it is used. TO verify condition, I ran film through the camera with two shots on flash and rewound film back. All functions appear shops to work just fine. Lens shows no issues with scratches or dust. Due to the date of manufacture on the camera/lens, I cannot provide warranty.

INCLUDED IN THE KIT PACKAGE: Minolta 35mm Maxxum 5 Film Camera with Sigma 28-90mm AF Lens fe.5-5.6 AF lens and Minolta camera strap and includes a lens cap.

There is no battery or film shipped with camera purchase.

For an additional fee, I'll add the (2) CR2 3V Lithium Batteries to get you started with your camera on the first day!

Weighing only 11 oz, this camera body is lightweight and compact compared to other film SLR cameras in its genre. The Maxxum 5 uses Minolta's seven-point AF system. The focus sensors are laid out in a wide area to the "rule of thirds," so you have the creative flexibility of positioning your subject anywhere within the focus frame. The center crosshair sensor keeps the focus sharp regardless of vertical or horizontal subject contrast. For maximum autofocus control, the Maxxum 5 has three AF modes: single-shot, continuous-predictive, and automatic.

The Maxxum 5 is designed around speed, precision, and power. It features a top shutter speed of 1/4,000 second, which can stop fast action or let you take beautiful portraits using large apertures under strong light. For capturing action as it unfolds, the Maxxum 5 can be set for continuous film advance. The film advances at three frames per second as long as you hold down the shutter-release button.

The Maxxum 5's state-of-the-art metering system delivers accurate exposures under a diverse range of lighting and subject conditions. It measures light levels from 13 segments in a honeycomb pattern across the viewfinder frame, plus the background area. And much like the method used by professional photographers, this intelligent metering system emphasizes the meter segments surrounding the focus sensor in use.

The built-in flash covers lenses as wide as 28mm, and puts creative flash control at your fingertips with auto, off, fill-flash, red-eye reduction, and wireless remote flash control modes. For greater flash output and versatility, high-powered Maxxum flash units are available as optional accessories. The Maxxum 5 also features a maximum flash sync speed of 1/125 second.
