Advice for buying first film camera as a complete beginner.
Hello everyone,
I have very recently gotten into photography and would like to buy a camera, specifically a Minolta X-700.
I had some questions I wanted to ask, and maybe to ask for your experiences with said camera if you have any. If it helps any, I would be using the X-700 and probably something like a Canon DSLR interchangeably (the X-700 for more meaningful moments like special events and the DSLR for everyday snap-and-go type of things).
Questions:
What would be around a good price range for the X-700 and where could I be able to find one to purchase without it being a gamble like on eBay.
What should I look out for as green/red flags when looking at listings for the X-700?
What lenses do you recommend? What accessories do you recommend?
What would be the best way to find an X-700 in the best condition possible?
Please let me know of your experience with this camera.
Thank you.
