Re: Minolta 5D

I loved my Minolta 5D, but be aware that a lot of them developed a problem with age where the first frame after you turned it on would often be black. This this would gradually progress to making the camera inoperable. I wouldn't be real confident in it even at a low price. Check KEH.com for used A mount Sony cameras and you might come close to that price in a more reliable model.
