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...
... The surface-silvered mirror in my S300 is VERY soft, and a very gentle application of a blower brush has scratched it quite badly. Be very careful,...
If the dust seems to be welded on you'll need to use a liquid. Saturate a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol and lightly pat it onto the surface until the dirt...
Don't know if this will help but I had a similar problem with an XD-1. In fact the mirror would not drop back at all. So I opened the camera (no film) and...
I have a Minolta Alpha/Dynax/Maxxum 3xi AF that powers up but doesn't fire. Battery is fresh, LED is sharp with no bleed. Everything looks good. Just no...
Hello, I just recently inherited a Minolta X-700 + accessories. Here is a listing of the lenses & flash that came with it: 80 – 200mm Soligor, f1:4.5 (seized...
Does the battery have enough power to focus the lens? I can't count the number of times I've heard camera owners say the battery is new/fresh/just recharged,...
... If I remember correctly a mountain near the minolta factory is called Rokkor. Greetings Hans ========== co-moderator adds: ... Click! Love and hugs, Peter...
Hi Glenn, You inherited at two sought after collectibles (and highly capable lenses): the 1.2/50 and the 4.5-4.5/28-85. The X-700 is a pretty good camera -...
Our beloved moderator didn't come right out and say it but by giving you a number of places to shop I think he was implying what I'll say outright which is to...
