I just got a sweet deal on a minolta x370 that im super stoked about! are there any tips/ ticks i should know about the camera? or what are your thoughts about the camera?

I have one that I picked up about 10 years ago for real cheap, also. I have only shot about 15 rolls through it since, but I'm ready to do a lot more. I really don't have any tips or tricks, though. It's a neat, well built, bare bones camera and haven't had any problems with it. It seems to meter just fine and any image problems have been "photographer induced" and not due to the camera itself.... I have two lenses for it, a Minolta 50mm f2.0 and a 75-150mm and a 2x converter. I have mostly used the 50mm, in street style shooting and it's pretty sharp, even opened wide. More often, I have had the shutter set to auto, basically putting the camera in aperture priority mode and like I said, it seems to meter just fine.

Sorry that I don't have more tips or tricks, but I think that's a good thing. It's a camera that you can load and go and get good results from. Let us know how it works out for you.
