Chairman of my Club was given some MINOLTA gear and did not want it so gave it to me -- it came in a plastic bag complete with a Dead Fly --- Minolta DYNAX 3xi, 40 and a 5 with various zoom lenses including TWO Sigma 28-200mm ones slightly different. I have tried the 5 and the 40 so far -- what I DON'T LIKE about the 5 is the 'Eye-Start' gimmick and the electronic security camera back lock so I could not open it to cut a test film -- I had to use up all 36 frames ! I could CUT the film in the model Dynax 40 .
They are all very 'plasticky' inside especially -- everything is 'polycarbonate' !!
