Thanks David for the good info. Since compatibility is still a lively subject, David, can I safassume that Manual Pentax lens can exchange on Minolta bodies? ...
Hello Ern. All camera manufacturers use a proprietary lens mount. There is no compatibility between NIKON & CANON & MINOLTA & PENTAX & OLYMPUS, etc. You might...
Sorry Ern, I'm afraid the only lenses that fit on a Minolta manual camera are Minolta or SR bayonet lenses made by Minolta for Minolta manual cameras or third ...

Hello all, I was thinking on getting the Minolta OS-1100 (off-camera shoe *), use the cable and connect the 3500xi flash with this camera. Is it possible to do...

My experience has been that if you forget to set the shutter at 1/60 and leave it at 1/125 or 1/250, 1/2 of the image will be black. This is the effect I've...
If half the image is black, and the other half is normal, then there are two possibilities that I can think of: 1. The shutter is firing at 1/125, like you...
I believe its a flash contact problem in the camera. Using my X-700 in Auto with either the 360PX or 80PX the flash sets the correct synch speed - 1/60th...

Ernie I believe I would pass on this lens. If the coating is marred its likely to affect image quality. There are many, many 50mm f1.4 ROKKOR-X lenses on ebay....
