Minolta Dynax 505si 35mm film SLR w/ 28-80mm lens (serial 95905417)

Note: this camera has a yellow tinge in its viewfinder (a common issue for a Minolta SLR of its era) due to a yellowing of its pentamirror coating. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect photos.

The Minolta Dynax 505si (called the Maxxum HTsi in some countries) is a lightweight and easy-to-use 35mm SLR introduced in 1998. It includes a Minolta AF 28-80mm f3.5-5.6 zoom lens.

The 505si is an excellent choice as a film camera for anyone who uses a Sony Alpha-series digital SLR with full-frame A-mount lenses (the lenses are compatible).
