Minolta's XD-11 Wait 'Til You See How Good You Can Be With Minolta

摘要

Long before the Mind of Minolta popularized autofocus SLRs with the introduction of the Maxxum 7000 there was the XD. The year was 1977 and Minolta Camera Company, Ltd. was riding high. Fueled by the success of the SR-T series and the inimitable XE-7, Minolta launched the XD family, beginning with the XD-11 (labeled simply XD in Japan and XD-7 in Europe). The XD-11 was the first "Dual Mode" autoexposure camera in the world. It offered both Shutter-Priority and Aperture-Priority Exposure modes, plus metered Manual.
