Vintage and Rare Minolta Maxxum 430si RZ with a Quantaray order 28-80mm AF Zoom Lens - Working Film Camera - TESTED with Free Shipping!

We have the Minolta Maxxum 430si RZ with a Quantaray 28-80mm Autofocus Zoom Lens. This film camera is great for students and those just getting into film photography but with features for advanced photographers.

This rare bird is actually the Minolta Dynax 500si with a date version back that was sold in American Ritz Camera stores as the Maxxum RZ430si or 430si RZ as written on the body.

This camera is in great condition and fully functional in every way. This camera is the kind of camera that's perfect for anyone, from the student photographer to the advanced enthusiast.

CONDITION:
As you can see from the pictures, the camera has no real wear but it is used. TO verify condition, I ran film through the camera with two shots on flash and rewound film back. All functions appear to work just fine. Lens shows no issues with scratches or dust. Due to the date of manufacture on the camera/lens, I cannot provide warranty. I did replace the battery in the date back order but the date only goes to 12/31/2018...lol. It's not required for the normal operation of the camera.

INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE: Minolta Maxxum 430si RZ with a Quantaray 28-80mm f3.5-56 Autofocus Zoom Lens along with an upgraded padded neck strap (used by very good condition).

IMPORTANT: There is no battery or film shipped with camera purchase. FREE Shipping.

For an additional fee, I'll add the 2CR5 Battery along to get you started with your camera on the first day!

It features the full suite of shooting modes, including fully automatic program, aperture priority, shutter priority, and full manual modes. Because of this, it's a camera that can operate like a point and shoot (frame your shot and have fun), or a professional style SLR in which every aspect of the photograph is under direct control of the photographer. It's well made, long-lasting, and solid. Featuring auto-focus and switchable manual focus, the camera continues to give the shooter options. Add to this a choice of metering modes for pinpoint lighting precision, automatic film advance and rewind, and many choices of semi-auto shooting modes, and it's clear this camera can do it all. It accepts any of Minolta's excellent A-mount lenses, which means that this is a camera that can grow with you as you buy more lenses for specialized shooting.
