It includes a Minolta AF 35-70mm f3.5-4.5 zoom lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePopular Photography review\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is how this camera was described in the November 1999 \u003cem\u003ePopular Photography\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost as easy (as the QTsi) is the less cutely named Maxxum STsi Pano. Minolta aficionados familiar with the Maxxum family tree, will find the STsi on a limb between the HTsi and the QTsi, sharing the QTsi body size, construction, and cosmetics with an added weight of only ⅝th of an ounce… And here are all the additional icings on the STsi cake: eight-segment honeycomb cell plus spot exposure metering with aperture-priority and shutter-priority autoexposure, as well as manual exposure (using + and - signs), all visible in the finder; +3 EV exposure compensation; three-frame bracketing at ½-EV intervals; manual ISO settings 6-6400. Setting controls is quite simple--much like those on the Maxxum XTsi Plus: turn mode dial to the control you wish to change, push center function button, and turn right-front control wheel to make your selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera requires two CR2 lithium batteries (available as an add-on).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe camera was tested with a shutter analyzer and calibrated light source and all shutter speeds and auto exposure settings are working with very good accuracy.
