My 35 mm film camera

The Minolta XG-1 is a classic 35mm film SLR camera that was introduced by Minolta in the late 1970s. It is a lightweight, compact, and fully manual camera that is known for its reliable performance and ease of use.

The XG-1 features a through-the-lens (TTL) metering system, which measures the light coming through the lens and adjusts the exposure accordingly. This system makes it easy to get properly exposed photos, even in tricky lighting situations. The camera also has a manual exposure mode, which allows the photographer to set the aperture and shutter speed manually for more creative control over the final image.

One of the standout features of the XG-1 is its large, bright viewfinder. This makes it easy to compose shots and focus accurately, even in low light conditions. The camera also has a split-image focusing screen, which makes it easy to achieve sharp focus.
