The Minolta XD5, is a 35mm single-lens reflex (SLR) film camera that was introduced by Minolta in 1975. It is the little brother to the xd7. The XD-5 was stripped of a couple of minor features (aperture readout, film transport check) but retains most of the functionality, most importantly the electronically-controlled Seiko shutter and the innovative multimode adaptive metering. This camera gives the choice between aperature priority and shutter speed priority by providing both.
