MINOLTA α-Sweet解説＆SIGMA 28-80mm作例（Maxxum 5 / Dynax 5）【リニューアル版】

A look at the MINOLTA Maxxum 5 (Japanese name: α-Sweet) that I bought for 100 yen. The lens is a period third-party one, the SIGMA ZOOM 28-80mm F3.5-5.6 MACRO. *This video is a lightly revised version (subtitles, etc.) of the one I uploaded around April 26, 2021. 0:00 What is the α-Sweet? 1:03 Sample photos (SIGMA ZOOM 28-80mm F3.5-5.6 MACRO) 2:31 A budget camera that's still high quality 3:24 The five scene modes 3:43 The scene modes aren't great to operate 4:48 Flash fires automatically by default 5:14 I was harsh, but it's a really good camera 5:40 The grip shape is great 5:59 Plenty of other features 6:27 Why it cost 100 yen 6:56 The chronic viewfinder-degradation problem 7:59 Wrap-up References: Minolta α-Sweet instruction manual (PDF), from the official Kenko Tokina website (confirmed accessible as of May 2, 2022) https://www.kenko-tokina.co.jp/konica...
