Minolta X-700 28mm f/2.8
The Minolta X-700, launched in 1981, is a benchmark in the history of film photography. This advanced model marked a decisive turning point thanks to its major innovation: the "Minolta Program System" (MPS), which allows photographers to concentrate fully on composition while letting the camera automatically manage exposure settings. With its wide-angle 28mm f/2.8 Vivitar lens, the X-700 combines exceptional image quality with ease of use, making it ideal for amateurs and professionals alike.
🎨 Technical Characteristics:
- “Full Auto” Mode : The revolutionary MPS system automatically adjusts exposure, allowing photographers to focus entirely on composing their images.
- Modern and Ergonomic Design : Featuring a sleek and functional design, the X-700 incorporates modern features such as a film advance indicator, exposure compensation, electronic self-timer, and exposure memory.
- Lens Compatibility : Uses MD lenses to take full advantage of Program mode, but remains compatible with a wide range of older lenses, providing great flexibility.
- Advanced Accessories : Compatible with the Fast Motor (MD-1) and an advanced flash system, further expanding the camera's capabilities.

Why shoot film in 2024 ?
That's true.. Why would you want to shoot film in 2024 in the digital age?
Film photography offers a unique and timeless aesthetic that digital cannot replicate. Film grain, colors, and contrasts create a depth and texture that is unique to film photography.
Film photography allows you to physically hold your photos and negatives, providing a more tactile and memorable experience. Each photo becomes a unique object that you can keep and cherish.
Shooting on film encourages you to think and plan each shot carefully. This develops your photography skills and teaches you to be more attentive to detail.
Using a film camera connects you to a long tradition of photography. You are using a technology that has captured historic moments and has been practiced by generations of photographers before you.
With film, you focus on the moment without being distracted by the screen and digital settings. This allows you to better appreciate and capture the essence of each moment.
