Maxxum HTsi Plus
image by Michelangelo da Sistina (Image rights)

The Minolta Dynax 505si or Maxxum HTsi Plus is a simplified version of the Dynax 505si Super / Maxxum XTsi / α Sweet.

It removed the Eye Start focus and film leader out from the custom functions. It is also limited to two multiple exposures. The lens mount has also been changed from metal to plastic. This also reduces the weight making it 25g lighter.

It is the first of Minolta's SLR camera bodies with the combination of a central cross autofocus sensor with two vertically placed sensors. It was much lighter than its predecessor, the Dynax 500si but had a lot more features.
