It turned out to be a Minolta XG1 with 50/2.0 lens. The batteries were shot so I replaced them with what I thought was a good match for the originals and it works fine (even meters well). My question is, the batteries that were in it were Union Carbide "LPX76" (I think) with no voltage on the outside. They are the standard button size and it requires 2 of them. Were these mercury? Also, were they 1.35V or 1.50V? The replacements I put in were 1.50V alkalines. OT- The shutter speed dial looks JUST like my CLE dial!
