Minolta Maxxum 7000 35mm film SLR with 50mm f1.7 lens (serial 15033827) | film🎞tested

This Maxxum 7000 and the included lens are in excellent working condition. We film tested thte camera and it delivered sharp, correctly exposed negatives. We tested the camera's shutter speeds and it showed excellent accuracy across all ranges. We also tested the camera and lens combo for exposure accuracy with a calibrated light source and it was very precise. The camera shows some cosmetic wear (see photos) with the most noteworthy flaw being LCD blackening on the top of the camera (see photo; this didn't obscure the readout of shutter speeds and f-stops in our testing).

• Type: 35mm SLR with microcomputer control of autofocus, auto multi-program, multimode, auto film transport, and LCD data panels
• Lens mount: Minolta "A"-type, self-lubricating stainless-steel bayonet; accepts all MAXXUM AF lenses for continuous lens control by automatic electronic-mechanical dedication
• Autofocus system: Minolta's TTL phase-detection type with 8-bit microcomputer for direct, digital adjustment
• Sensitivity range: EV 2 to 19 at ISO 100 in ambient light
• Manual focusing: By referring to focus signals (LEDs) in viewfinder, or visually using Acute-Matte screen
• Controls: Keys to set exposure mode, drive mode, exposure adjustment, and film speed; up/down keys to select speed, aperture and to control program shift; AE lock; program reset returns camera to P mode, S drive, and cancels exposure adjustment.
• Shutter: Electronically controlled verticaltraverse focal-plane type
• Auto speeds: Stepless 1/2000 to 30 sec. with nearest half-stop setting displayed
• Manual speed: 1/2000 to 30 sec. in full-stop settings plus "bulb”
• Film-speed settings: ISO 25 to 6400 in ambient light, ISO 25 to 1000 for TTL flash metering, both in 1/3-EV steps; auto film speed setting with DX-coded films
• Metering: TTL center-weighted averaging type; by silicon photocell on pentaprism for ambient light; second SPC at bottom of mirror box for TTL flash metering with dedicated flash units
• Auto-exposure (AE) range: EV —1 to 20 with ISO 100 film and 50/1.4 lens (e.g., 4 sec. at f/1.4 to 1/2000 sec. at f/22).
• Exposure modes:
• Program: Both shutter speed and aperture set according to AE program automatically selected by camera: Wide program for focal lengths shorter than 35mm, Standard for focal lengths from 35mm to 105mm, Tele for focal lengths longer than 105mm; program changes automatically when zooming from one range to another.
• A: Aperture-priority AE; any available aperture selectable in half-stops, camera sets corresponding stepless shutter speed from 1/2000 to 30 sec.
• S: Shutter-priority AE; any speed from 1/2000 to 30 sec. selectable in full stops, camera sets aperture from range available on lens
• M: Metered-manual exposure; manual setting of any speed and aperture; correct exposure indicated in viewfinder.
• TTL flash metering: Operates in all flash modes with dedicated units
• Program: Automatic setting of X-sync to 1/100 sec. (1/60 below EV 12) and aperture; automatic fill-in flash in bright sunlight
• A: 1/100 sec. X-sync set automatically; any available aperture usable; AE lock enables slower X-sync speed through 30 sec. for balancing flash with ambient lighting
• M:Any shutter speed 1/100 sec. or slower and all available apertures usable; speed automatically reset to 1/100 sec. at manually set speeds 1/125 sec. or faster
• Exposure controls: Exposure adjustment EV +4 to —4 in half-stops; AE lock holds metered AE settings; program shift for temporary selection of other programmed apertureshutter speed settings (in half-stops) for metered EV, shifted settings held as long as meter stays on.
• Operating button: Touch Switch activates metering and LCD displays, which remain on for 10 sec. after finger is lifted from button; pressing halfway activates autofocusing and focus hold; pressing button all the way releases shutter
• Film transport: Automatic with built-in motor drive: auto threading, auto advance to first frame, S mode for single-frame advance, C mode for continuous advance at up to 2 frames per second, power rewinding, auto rewind stop; advancing frame counter in data panel
• Viewfinder: Eye-level fixed pentaprism shows 94% of 24 x 36mm film-frame area; magnification 0.85X with 50mm lens at infinity
• Data displays:
• Top panel: LCDs indicate exposure mode, program shift, shutter speed, aperture, exposure adjustment, film speed, frame number, drive mode, self-timer operation, "bulb" operation, low battery warning, over-/ under-exposure warning
• Viewfinder: LCDs indicate exposure mode, program shift, shutter speed, aperture, exposure adjustment, film speed, low battery warning, whether light is within metering range, over/underexposure warning; LEDs indicate focus status, if flash is charged, correct flash exposure; illuminated automatically in low light
• Audible beeper: At the beep position, camera beeps: when subject is in focus; at the end of the roll; during self-timer operation; and as a warning in P or A mode when shutter speed is below: 1/30 sec. with focal lengths shorter than 35mm, 1/60 sec. with focal lengths from 35mm to 105mm, and 1/125 sec. with focal lengths longer than 105mm.
• Self-timer: Electronic with 10-second delay; cancellable; operation indicated by 3-stage blinking LED with simultaneous audible beeping and countdown in data panel.
• Other: Front and rear handgrips, eyepiece cap, film window, remote control terminal, carrying strap
• Size and weight: 52 x 91.5 x 138mm (2-1/16 x 3-5/8 x 5-7/16 in.), 555g (19 9/16 oz.) without lens and batteries
