Good morning, Peter; Nice response. And, it is nice to see you are still here to answer questions. The listing of various web sites for more information is...
I just put three photos up on my Minolta group. The Virgin shot was done with the 55mm but the others were done with with the High-matic 7sII The meter works...
Mary, You wrote "it is a bit harder to keep things in focus at close range". It sounds to me like your rangefinder needs to be readjusted. First, focus on...
Thank you for the fine tip. I am saving your instructions to my camera file. I tested my Hi-Matic at infinity this morning and the range finder is right on. I...
... Hi Warren, The 1981 Minolta X-700 is the most sophisticated and latest design to take Minolta MC/MD lenses. However, the lesser X-300-series was in...

Bon matin, Francois; I do hope that I have correctly copied your comments from your message regarding the Minolta SR-T 101 and SR-T 102 manual focus SLR ...

Can I shoot my SRT 101 without the battery? I have done this successfully recently with my Hi-Matic 9. I shot full length portraits without a battery and with...
Sure, the only thing the SRT101 uses batteries for are the meter. Shutter is all mechanical so it operates without batteries. So if you know what aperture and...
Good morning; Yes, the Minolta SR-T 101 will work without a battery being installed. The battery is the power source only for the Through-The-Lens (TTL) light...
Yes, it is a good way to learn how to read the light. With the latitude of modern film you also have more room for error. There is a saying that goes, "F8 and...
Thanx you guys. Apparently the Rangefinders perform well in low light. I must add that I have no desire to shoot street scenes. I just want to do full length...
Low light performance is dependent on film speed, shutter speed and maximum lens aperture. The SRT-101 can match anything the HiMatic-9 does in low light and...
The best answer I've ever read in a long time... -A good way how to read light... Photography is all about light... period; forget about all these new toys in...
You are correct. No single F stop and shutter combination will work all the time. With 400 asa film you would do well on most days. Film companies have...
