PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

The Minolta X-1 is the professional 35mm SLR camera in the Minolta line-up, launched in 1973. It is called XK in North America, and XM in Europe and elsewhere. It took Minolta about ten years to develop X-1, and it initiated the professional era of the Minolta SR system. It is the first Minolta SLR with interchangeable lenses to have an electronically controlled horizontally travelling shutter with titanium foil curtains and capable of a 1/2000s. Manually selectable speeds are from 16 sec. to 1/2000 sec.
