Minolta SR505

Minolta SR505 found at a garage sale ~1985 for US$25. Wife was mad at husband and sold it to me, cheap. Came with plastic case and Arabic instructions. Husband said to leave with it quick. They were shouting at each other in Arabic.

@astonuts The rest of the Story... Minolta had different model #'s for different markets. According to wife, this one was originally bought new in a market stall in Egypt by the husband's aunt ~1975. The couple ended up divorced, moved away, the house sold. Don't know where they went.
