In 1978 Minolta released a second model in the XD Series named the XD5. This camera has identical features to the XD/XD7/XD11 with the exception of multiple aperture/shutter speed readouts in the viewfinder, viewfinder blind, and the film load indicator. These are only minor changes and the mechanical and electronic components of the cameras are for all intents and purposes identical and this version which was made only in chrome and it is a real bargain.

Extremely nice condition but does show some handling and use but no hard use whatsoever. Excellent condition but shows some wear and use. Perfectly Excellent operating condition but cosmetics leave something to be desired. Usable but has mechanical, optical and cosmetic issues as indicated in individual descriptions Issues as indicated in individual descriptions Very significant conditions as indicated in individual descriptions. The lower end of this range is basically a paperweight that looks something like it might once have taken some pictures.
