I ordered one of these here on amazon a while back, it was either sold from b and h or adorama it’s been a while and i’m too lazy to check so for this i apologize. The reason i am writing the review is because the product i received was a gray market version an f80. i was kind of miffed that this hadn’t been disclosed but i decided to deal with it since it was basically the same thing. I don’t shoot much film and am pretty gentle with my gear because i intend for it to last a long while. well, i shot maybe 2 rolls during the life of the camera. then one day when i decided to shoot a roll i got the camera out of the bag, inserted the battery and started to shoot and after each shot i would get an error message and then the camera would basically lock up until i depressed the shutter (i assume to essentially waste a frame if any of the frames were actually working) so i blazed through a roll testing it out and assuming i just hadn’t properly loaded the film or something. so i put the camera away until i could get back to the manual. the manual informed me that the error message basically requires me to send the camera in for service. i would be ok with this except that i had a gray market camera which is limited as far as the warranty’s are concerned. so be weary, this camera can be a risk apparently since it can have a terminal error without hardly any use (or maybe the problem was it didn’t get used often enough, who knows) and sellers here are apparently not great at disclosing that they’re selling gray market versions.


Help answer the question about Film Slr
How do I know if a film SLR camera is in working condition?
It is a Minolta XG-M and there is currently no Film Slr film inside it.When I try to work the lever, there is no click sound.. is that because there is no film in it? or should it click even without any film?Also, everything else about the camera seems normal and clean.
