Many older film cameras can be found when browsing through eBay. Unfortunately, quite a few will suffer from common age-related ailments. As a user or collector, you should be certain that the item you are buying is in good working condition. I will not hide behind such statements as ”Was OK when put away three years ago” and “Not sure if it works, but the shutter clicks and all the dials turn” . Please read the whole text carefully and rest assured that this classic was thoroughly checked and its condition is accurately described below.
Minolta Maxxum 5000i was one of the best built Minolta autofocus SLR’s. Heavy and robust construction is quite a departure from today’s plastic-feeling marvels. During the ‘end of the film era’ days, Minolta joined forces with Konica and became Konica-Minolta. Unfortunately, the merger did not help and Konica-Minolta, with their many decades of expertise and superbly developed technology was bought by Sony. It was a very smart move, as Sony inherited Minolta’s camera technology with their excellent line of lenses and still continues using Minolta’s Maxxum / Dynax lens mount on the latest Sony Alpha line of digital SLR’s.

The Maxxum 5000i is a fully featured camera with Program AE Mode and Manual Mode. When set to manual, a full range of shutter speeds (4s - 1/2000s) and f-stops is available. Optional Creative Expansion Cards will provide Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority modes, other cards are available for special applications (Portrait Expansion card will be included). When checked with my 2CR5 test battery, all camera functions performed correctly (battery will not be shipped with the camera - it is commonly available in camera stores, drugstores and on eBay).

Cosmetically, the camera is in wonderful condition, with hardly any signs of use. There are no scratches, scuffs or cracks in the body, the rubber grip is soft and supple. Includes an original Minolta carrying strap with an anti-slip pad and an eyepiece blind. Also included will be a Portrait Creative Expansion Card. If necessary, I can email the winning bidder a pdf file copy of the original owner’s manual - please ask after the end of the auction.
