Minolta XE-7

Minolta XE-7
This 1974 Minolta is an awesome camera - or would be if it worked. I picked it up for next to nothing because I wanted it on my shelf - and thought maybe I could learn how to fix it(doubtful after more research). Anyways, this camera was built in collaboration with Leica(and has a Leica branded sister model - the R3). Many consider this the finest SLR film camera Minolta ever made - it is only a slight step down from their pro camera the XK. Unlike the SR-T line this was electronically controlled. I hope to score a working version some day to replace this one.
