Minolta XE-5
Released in 1975, the Minolta XE-5 is a lower-spec'd version of the popular Minolta XE-7; however, being a simpler version doesn't mean the XE-5 isn't well stocked in merits. The camera is well-built and extremely capable, plus, most of the features it lacks compared to the XE-7 are those that go without missing. The camera features full manual exposure control, as well as aperture-priority auto exposure. It has a shutter speed range of 1/1,000, all the way down to 4 seconds - plus a Bulb mode - all in front of a vertically-traveling, metal shutter. It has an ISO range from 12-3200, with exposure compensation from +2 to -2, and a bright, uncluttered viewfinder that is easy to use. The camera's shutter is electronically controlled but it does feature a mechanical 1/90th of a second speed, in case of dead batteries.
