The Nikon F3 is one of the finest cameras ever made. The Best Mid-Range SLR: Nikon F3 / F3HP Image by James P. Robert’s Camera is rarely without several X-700 bodies in stock.

Make sure to check compatibility between lens types (MD versus MC) if you intend to use the X-700’s program auto mode (MC lenses are aperture priority or manual only). Your regular 50mm f/1.8 or 50mm f/1.7 Minolta lenses are dirt cheap, and 50mm f/1.4 or 55mm f/1.4 lenses are incredibly affordable as well. Even that lens can be found at a modest cost. There are a plethora of great Minolta lenses available at very reasonable prices there is also the renowned 58mm f/1.2 Rokkor which is a nice chunk of glass that produces nice, dreamy images wide-open. Otherwise, the bodies and features are nearly identical. The X-700 has Program, Aperture Priority, and Manual modes the X-570 lacks Program, which is honestly not a mode I ever use with 35mm cameras anyway. There are a number of great options I considered here: Nikon FE, Nikon FM, Pentax K2, or MX, but ultimately settled on Minolta because the X-570 was one of my first cameras and they’re powerhouses - loaded with features, and compared to the Nikons or Pentaxes, the glass is a great deal more affordable.

That’s far more than most cameras in this price range, plus it has an unusually extensive ASA range from 12 to 3200. The FX-103 Program has four modes: P (Program), HP (High-Speed Program), A (Aperture Priority), and M (Manual). In fact, some of the lenses were so good that their designs exist to this day in the Zeiss Classic and subsequently the Zeiss Milvus series. It uses the Contax Yashica (C/Y) bayonet mount, which means it can utilize all of the extremely excellent Contax Zeiss lenses, many of which still hold their own even on high-resolution digital cameras. This is one of my favorite hidden gems of the film world and can routinely be found with a Yashica 50mm lens for $100 or less.
