Minolta Dynax 9

It is a successor to the Maxxums 9Xi and 800Si. As with the Maxxum 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. A later version included the ultra rare Maxxum 9Ti with a titanium body that is reputed to put the famed Nikon F5 to shame. Its controls followed the Maxxum 600si.
