Minolta Dynax 505si Super

The Minolta Dynax 505si Super was a light autofocus SLR camera for 35mm film made by Minolta. It was the same camera body as the Minolta Maxxum XTsi for the American and the Minolta Alpha Sweet for the Japanese market. Its distinguishing features were the "cust" functions, 9 programs for different exposure preferences. Unloading and reloading a film was no problem with this camera. A special version of it was the Dynax 505si Super QD DATE which was switchable to a second exposure format, a panorama format.
