Minolta Dynax 500si super

{"overview":"The Minolta Dynax 500si super is a 35mm autofocus SLR from Minolta's Dynax line, sold in Europe during the mid-1990s as an entry-level body using the Minolta A-type (autofocus) lens mount. Because these are saleroom hammer results (wholesale, before commission), body-only examples without a lens rarely sell for much more today, and value is highly condition-sensitive: a clean, tested body with a kit zoom will sit at the upper end of that range, while untested or cosmetically tired bodies make up the floor.","buying_guide":"Common issues on 1990s Minolta AF bodies include sticky or leaking back-door light seals, failed LCD segments on the top panel, and battery-door wear; check that autofocus drives smoothly and that the shutter fires at all marked speeds. Bodies are usually sold with a Minolta AF zoom, which often carries most of the combined value, so inspect the lens for haze, fungus and loose aperture blades.
