Is there an efficient way to clean a mirror on an SRT 102? And if so, could you tell me what type of liquid to use on it? I use micro fiber clothes on my...
Well first, if there's just some minor dust on the mirror, that's of no real importance and you could just leave it there. Second, the mirror surface is very...
I sometimes use a small piece of "Swiffer Duster". Use a pair of scissors to cut off a small piece about 1" long by cutting across the sleeve that fits over...
I'd be very very careful since the mirror is a front surface mirror. Its rather delicate and I might consider using a blower brush - the kind with a squeeze...
But a front surface mirror has for many, many years been aluminized and not silvered. After deposition aluminum oxidizes very quickly and forms a thin skin of...
I have no idea what Swiffer uses to attract the dust. If I did maybe I'd be rich? :-) I have used Swiffer dusters on my Olympus OM's and my Canon 5D with no ...
... you ... camera ... I've had that problem. Just exercising the ring worked for me, but a qualified repairman would lube it somehow, with longer lasting ...
Hey there all, I wanted to ask about the light meter in the SRT 101. I just started working with the camera (my wife took it, and wrapped it up for my birthday...
I have been using a digital camera for four years now, but am about to start a project which will require me to use my X-700's with 24mm Rokkor, 21mm Rokkor...
Take a look at some of fuji's new film. http://www.choose-film.com I have some 160 nps loaded in my Mamiya RB 67 right now, but am going to try the fujichrome...
I've been using the new Kodak Portra ISO 160 & 400 Vivid Color & Natural Color films with good results.(Shutterbug magazine recently tested it. You can find...
There aren't many left in the market making and selling quality film today. Fuji and Kodak, I would say that they both make good film. Kodak Portra was...
Hello Henrik. I've been buying Portra 160 and 400 VC & NC on eBay. Our one local camera shop wants $7.50 a roll + sales tax (total $7.96); I bought 10...
Hello Everyone: I have a question about modern electronic flashes that can be used with Minolta XK. I understand that with proper adapters like those that can...
For many many years I used a Vivitar 283 with my MINOLTA SRT-202 & XG-9. There are plenty of them available on eBay and they are still listed in several camera...
The more modern version of the 283, the Vivitar 285, has recently been reintroduced by Vivitar after an absence from the market for a year or two. They can be...
Thank you, everyone, for providing valuable information. XK indeed has a hot shoe adapter mountable on the camera. It is ISO standard. However because this...
The Sunpak 422D's that I mentioned have a 5 stop range and also swivel as well as tilt. They can be had for $20-30 on ebay. The 422D's were dedicated (80's...
I should have mentioned that, for high voltage power cables, the Sunpak 422D and 383 both use the same cable (Quantum CS4). The 522 uses a different one...
After thinking a bit more about this, I suggest you consider a MINOLTA 360PX flash. Its powerful (82 feet @ ISO 100 @ f1.4) and versatile with swivel and...
Hi, I`ve got a recently acquired srt 102 that seems to have a sticky mirror problem (mirror won`t come down after shutter release, occasionally). Obviously it...
Have you ever wanted to try "special effects" photography? Its actually quite easy IF your camera allows you to make multiple exposures. Since you'll be making...
You need to inspect the shutter without film in the camera. Although you *may* be correct that the mirror mechanism is sticky it may also be that the shutter...
That's true, Chuck, and an alternative if your camera doesn't allow multiple exposures. If it does, however, its more fun doing it in- camera and frees up the...
