A friend of mine in a local photo club had the XD7, various modes and excellent optics. I have had Minolta cameras (X700 and SG1(manual focus) 7000i, 7xi and now Dynax 7d)for the last 26 years and can reccomend them.

As previously said,shopping on ebay you will find a vast choice of 80`s manual focus gear, depending on budget you could get a body with 2 or 3 lens` quick reasonably.

Some people there are selling complete outfits.

Its all down to personal choice, you may get a used manual focus bargain in the dealers if they have any old stock lying around.
