Probably not too hard to find an unpaid intern job but the economy has most pro photographers pretty pressed for business. All she can do is go out and beat...

That is funny, though. Reminds me of the time I bought 2 left shoes on eBay. It was just a great price! I got my money back since the seller didn't realize...
Wow, that was like pulling teeth. The "220501958260" in your post was an EBAY number, sale now closed, probably to fix the typo in the price, hahahaha....
... Oh, so nothing about the old Sony CyberShot DSC-S60 made you think of manual Minolta-related anything, then? Hmm. By the way, it's 4 years old and...
... Well Mr Peter Blaise It was the ridiculous high price that made me yearn for it. I have numerous SRT 202 Minolta cameras and more lens than I can carry. My...
Well, Skip, tell us more -- waht Manual Minolta does this Sony auto-everything digital camera make you yearn for? What is it about your Minolta experience...

Suzan, You ain't old. If I got all my fillings replaced would I get more dates? :-) My dentist told me not to worry till they need replaced and then they would...
For those of you who have an SLR at home, I have a fun experiment for you to try. It is a way to creatively use your digital camera to create some fun images. ...
Here's a mercury story for you. Back around 9 years ago I was in the environmental dept at one of the major auto plants around here. We kept track of...
Ralph J, Holly Crap!!!! Is that the same mercury I coated dimes and quarters with back in the 50s and the same as the that used in my almalgam fillings in my...
Thankyou Ralph and Chuck for the additional battery info. Doug Robertson ... From: "RalphJ" <vy1n7kga@...> To: <ManualMinolta@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
Stand back, people. I am on staff here, and I have the long cuff protective gloves. I will handle it. Good morning, Tom; Yes, Tom, you do indeed have one of...
I have a SRT 200 with a battery that is marked "PX-13". It measures 1.35 v open circuit and move the needle into the correct range for test. Is this the same...
Batteries are named for their chemistry and the chemical reactions produce a voltage specific to the chemistry. A zinc-air cell has a maximum voltage of 1.65...
Thanks Vince, for the link. I have been buying my Wein cells on eBay. I think this is cheaper. Doug Robertson ... From: "Vince" <passaro.vince@...> To:...
Hi all you Hi-Matic hep cats: Just a note: the Wein is not an alkaline battery but a 'zinc-air' cell, which means I know not what specifically, but I have read...
Good morning, Doug; The MR8 and MR9 designations are for the battery adapters, and I think both Chuck and I referred to them as adapters in our text. I know...
I have no idea what an MR8 is. The mercury to silver oxide battery converter I'm familiar with is the MR9. The MR9 requires a 386 silver oxide battery....
Thanks Ralph and Chuck, for the additional info. I have been meaning to look into the alternatives more closely and your information helps. However, I do...
Good morning, Douglas; The comments by Chuck Norcutt do match mine. The use of an AgO (Silver-Oxide) battery is a much better choice than an alkaline battery....
Regardless of how you choose to adjust for the voltage differential between mercury cells and your replacement battery it is best if you use a silver oxide...
I bought mine from adorama previously and that's what I put in my Hi-matic last weekend. I did shoot an entire roll of film this week and have to take it for...
