Product Description
Items for sale: x-600 camera, 35-70mm zoom lens with the new pin required for x-600, x-600 manual in Japanese, the original Minolta case, OEM lens cap.History: the X600 was only sold in Japan during 1983 and 1984. Reported only 10,000 units have been manufactured. It brought on a patient right law suit with its assisted focus function and there's why it is short lived. The mis-fortune makes the x-600 to be one of the most sought after SLR by Minolta collector over the world.
Significance: it's Minolta's first attempt to provide assisted focus in it's SLR line (thus the SF (Speed Focus) logo on the right of the camera. Minolta sees the automation in the future of photography and it has made a few major changes in its SLR hardware to achieve this. First is the pattern grid in the mirror, then is the focus screen (has a small rectangle in the center), needless to say the focusing circuit, and adding a new pin in the MD lens line.
Minolta 35-70mm 1:3.5 MD zoom lens. 55mm thread. The zoom ring is extra thick for easy turning and easy to differentiate from the focus ring). Notice the maximum f stop lock tell you this is the third generation of the MD lens). Also notice the feet distance marking in orange (rumor has it this is the change made in the fourth generation of the MD lens which include the extra pin required by the x600).
