Minolta XG1 No. 4


I got this camera by fixing another camera for a guy that lived next door to the drummer in my band. And now, for some reason, I have four of these XG1 cameras.

Minolta XG1 No. 4

This Minolta XG1 belonged to the neighbor of the drummer in my band, and he also had another Minolta XG-1, only it was the third version, this being the first version. He wanted me to fix both cameras and I did. He mainly wanted the other one, so he gave me this one for fixing his. For some reason, I now have four of these XG1s. The first one I got was intentional, but the rest I just happened to get because they came in some lots of cameras where I mainly wanted a certain other one in the lot. And then this one was given to me.
