S3D FS: Minolta X-700 twin SLR rig

["Dr. George A. Themelis" <DrT-3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have received quite a few requests for the Konica rig so you
can consider it sold.

But here is another good twin camera rig, based on the 
Minolta X-700.  This is the one I have used for years now...  
It has given me many award-winning pictures (examples
are shown in pages 114, 115 and 118 of my Realist book).

The setup I am selling consists of the following:

- Two Minolta X-700 camera bodies
- Spliced cords
- Pair of Minolta 135/3.5 MD lenses
- Pair of very compact Minolta 45/2.0 MD lenses
- Minolta Auto Winder G (one, not a pair)

Note that these cameras do not have a built-in winder.  Every time
you take a picture you will need to manually advance them.  That's
fine and I actually prefer it that way because the cameras are much 
lighter.  But with the Minolta Auto Winder G you can take hyperstereos 
from a moving platform (boat, plane) easier and quicker. 

Regarding prices, X-700 are available new for $235 ea. from B&H 
or used for around $150 in good condition.  Lenses go for around 
$40 ea. used (note: my lenses are MD lenses which are the latest 
and most lightweight Minolta manual focus lenses)  Remote cords 
can cost $20 ea., if you can find them.  The Winder G sells for 
$160 new or for about $80 in eBay.

I'll sell the package for $375 plus $10 postage (USA).  IMO, this
is a very good value for a fine camera system.  Satisfaction is
guaranteed.  You will have one month to try the system and return
it for a full refund (minus shipping) if not fully satisfied.
