前一陣子剛好讓我在eBay上看到～ 二話不說就給他買回家了～～
A very rare version of the Minolta 700si SLR camera. In Japan it was called α-707si and labeled japan beneath it for this special edition.
Its special paint "Wajima Lacquer Ware (輪島塗)" was one of its unique feature, Japanese used it over the past 600 years for luxurious dedication.
The last four photos are sample shots by its lens.
Mysterious package sent from Japan~
從日本送過來的神祕包裹～
At that time (1993), Minolta α series SLR cameras was 10 years old... This special edition was dedicated for its 10 years anniversary.
這可是當年美樂達Alpha系列的十年紀念版！
This limited edition has won the price for the "Camera of the Year (1994)".
1994年的時候還得到了相機大獎～
The camera is painted with "Wajima Lacquer Ware". A specialy made paint by the Japanese for over hundreds of years symbolising luxurious, elegant and durable.
他最特別的地方就是使用了 (輪島塗) 烤漆. 這特種烤漆再是本可是有六百多年的歷史了！
這種烤漆代表的是一種奢華，高貴，耐用～
Each of the wooden camera case is hand made for its perfect fit.
每一個木盒都是純手工～
There were only 500 made for this limited edition.
聽說全世界只有伍佰個上下
When it came out, it was sold on an amazing price of 270 thousand Japanese Yen.
當時再日本可是需要日幣27萬的高價才買的到呦～
Even though my version is a second hand, but its condition was perfect and could be told that it was very well maintained.
我這雖然是二手的 但可以看得出來上一個收藏者非常的愛護～
The special paint covered through the camera body, the lens and its hood.
The function of the camera is actually the same as the Dynax 700si with its shutter speed up to 1/8000.
基本上這款相機的內部功能與Dynax 700si系列的一模一樣～
The special edition has golden labels and a japan marked under the model number.
Its viewfinder apperas to be very clear and sharp comparing to most of the current digital SLRs.
觀景窗非常的清楚～
The lens is a zoom 24-85mm with its aperture of 3.5-4.5.
The body is firm and well built. With the touch of the special paint, it added more warmth toward photography.
相機的手感非常好～組裝也很棒！
The lens has an in-body motor which allows faster autofocus at that time.
This limited edition was also called the "Red Devil" because of the special paint.
This photo was taken with the lens attached on a Sony A900 body.
接下來的照片是用此鏡頭接上Sony A900所拍的
The lens has a maximum magnification of 1:5.88 (0.17×).
This is taken on its 24mm, very sharp in the middle. It was also noticed that the lens coating is kind of blueish comparing to most of other Minolta or Sony lenses.
這是24mm端，這鏡頭的度膜有種偏藍的感覺～ 下次是是拍人像看看是何種感覺。
This was taken on its 85mm. Bokah is quite smooth and center or corner are all pretty sharp.
這是85mm端
以上
感謝觀賞～～
