SHOT ON A COMPACT

Minolta X-500 FAQ

  • The X-500, also known as the X-570 in some markets, is beloved because it gives up the X-700's Program mode but improves manual shooting feedback with match-LED metering.

  • Its quirk is that many enthusiasts prefer it to the more famous X-700. It asks you to know a little more, then rewards you with clearer manual exposure information.

  • Choose it if you want a Minolta body for learning and real manual shooting rather than letting Program mode take over.

  • It uses Minolta SR-mount manual-focus lenses, including many MC, MD and Rokkor lenses. Compact 45mm and 50mm primes suit the body especially well.

  • It is best for learning exposure, slow travel, portraits and everyday photography where the lens character matters as much as the camera body.

I love the store concept, the website is really well built and easy to go through and shop online. I got my purchase delivery extremely fast and really good packaging. I would 100% recommend and shop on Analogue again!

Attended a photo walk and a workshop, with the most recent one led by Emilia. The team is fantastic, the products are top-notch, and their collaborations are always inspiring. Highly recommend!

Had my film developed a few weeks ago, visited in-store while on a trip, such wonderful friendly staff (thank you Mika!) and I‘m thrilled with the quality of the scans and that they were sent on time. Will be sending my film by post from now on!

I bought my Canon AE-1 Program here. It was in great conditions and they have always helped me with all problems afterwards (stuck film, etc).
