Title: Minolta Dynax 505si SLR
Post by: Danny Sutton on Oct 10, 2012, 05:59 PM
This is a 35mm film camera, i've purchased a couple of old SLR's recently off ebay for the lenses, i'll keep one, and i have no use for this one.

it is body only, no glass, no batteries. (I think it takes a Cr2 battery, couple of quid from tesco)

It takes a minolta/sony A or AF mount lens

free to anyone who can make use of it.

Is it possible to actually buy 35mm film still?

I order mine online, but it's not your standard stuff. Loads of places for the standard stuff if you want to get it.

You can develop B&W film in coffee too (Yes, really, I use it for 120 roll if I want an "Older" effect without Photoshop), if you fancy a play around.

I already have too many bodies (And no Minolta/Sony glass) to take this off your hands. I've just managed to get rid of a load of older EOS bodies, but it took a while.

Canon Ae-1 sitting here - with some glass too - must get round to treating it to a roll of film one of these days.
