Minolta Dynax 500si + Exakta 28–80mm Zoom Lens

Known also as the Maxxum 400si in North America and the α-303si in Japan, the Dynax 500si is part of Minolta’s trusted Dynax/Maxxum series. Designed for ease of use with autofocus, auto exposure modes, and a clear LCD control interface, it’s a great 35mm SLR for both beginners and experienced photographers.

This version includes the Exakta 28–80mm lens, giving you focal flexibility for a wide range of subjects—from landscapes to tight portraits. The lens delivers crisp images and makes the most of the camera’s metering and focus systems.

While mostly recognized for its 35mm capability, this model also played a unique role as a test platform for early APS film, making it a curious footnote in photo history.
