>Minolta X-370This, and my RB67, are the only cameras I own that I trust for my professional shoots. Light meter is dead-to-nuts accurate, and its aperture priority mode is more useful (to me personally) than the AE-1's shutter priority. There's a ton of great lenses for the MD mount; I heartily recommend the Vivitar 90mm 1:1 macro (as your SECOND lens, get a nifty fifty first). Both of mine (yes, I have 2, that's how much I like the X-370) have issues with a jamming film winding mechanism that keeps the shutter from firing occasionally, but if you shove a small screwdriver in where the motor winder goes, and work the clit a bit, it'll fix itself. Happens once every 5-6 rolls, so nbd. Instead of a half-press of the shutter button, you brush your finger across the top of the shutter button, it detects the capacitance of your finger, and the light meter wakes up. Very cool for 1980s tech, but a bit frustrating if you're in a colder climate since it doesn't work through gloves. But, I live in MN and I deal with it because the light meter is good and the lenses are great. By far the most annoying camera to load, of any camera I've ever used. Stupid little half-spool thing, but you'll get used to it. Of the three, best value for money.
