The Dynax 9 is a auto focus 35mm SLR camera manufactured by Minolta. It is also known as Maxxum 9 and (Alpha 9) α-9.
It is a successor to the 9xi and 800si. As with the 9xi, the 9 is a rugged camera with legends of it being used to drive nails. Rubberized and weatherproof controls make this camera ready to take on anything in its path. Later versions included the ultra rare 9Ti with a titanium body that is reputed to put the famed Nikon F5 to shame. Its controls followed the 600si.
The shutter is a focal plane device running from 30s - 1/12000s, with flash synch to 1/300s and a built-in flash. The lens fitted to a Minolta A-type bayonet mount.
