I got a wonderful 58mm f/1.4 lens when I purchased an SR7. The diaphragm is sticky at times. I tried it on my X9 with same results. Since it is almost...
I have two XG-Ms which are both acting up and was thinking about just giving up on them and getting a new x-370s. Is there anything that the XG-M can do that...
Depth of field preview is the main thing you'll lose in going to an X-370s. The XG-M also has more metal in its construction, but I don't know how much of an...
Luke, I would not give up on that lens. It is repairable. Let me know if I can help. I can fix it for a lot cheaper than what it will cost you to buy another....
Hello I had the same problem with my 58mm 1.4 I decided to get it CLA cleaned lubed and adjusted and for $55 it was back and good as new. Morgantown Camera...
I was wondering if anyone knows how difficult / easy it is to replace the PC terminal on an X-700, as I am considering purchasing an otherwise good condition...

I cannot see if the exposures are correct because I said I was testing lens= es but what I wanted to say, is that I was only metering with diverse...
Hi! There is another rule when the shutter delivers the fastest mechanical speed only in A and S mode, and the diaphragm stops down fully in S mode with the...

I gave a friend my X-370 in exchange for his XGM,which was acting up. I really liked the X-370(except for the shutter speed dial)and it has an exposure lock as...
... Ok, thanks for your advice Zbigniew, I must definitely search for some place where my camera can be serviced... Do you know if it must be done on a Minolta...
You also give up EV control although that can be worked around. I bought a new X370 from B&H a while ago, was disappointed in its apparant quality and ...
Unless you need it all the time,the fact that the X-370 doesn't have a depht of field preview,is no big deal.You press the unlock button and turn the lens a...
I have two XD-5s which I acquired last year in Canada. One, with a serial # 4064154 has white for 1/125 shutter speed. The other, #4083129 has a green 1/125...
I couldn't agree with you more about the design of the shutter speed dial on the x-370. It was enough to convince me to pay $30 more for an X-570 (my first...
... This a problem with the 58mm f1.2 lens, so the f1.4 may not be that different is some ways. It's fixable, by a shop or yourself if you know what to do. I...
Hi, again! I must say it can't be done on a Minolta service. Any service for XD-11 is no longer available at Minolta. Try to find another one in your area. I'm...

I was browsing through the cameras on the Minman site and came across the X600 which I remember has been discussed with "excitement" here before (presumably...
Hi members, I am John from England. Just woundering does anyone own a x-9 and can share some techniques about it? I just bought my x-9 for 3 weeks, and it work...
The X9 is essentially a variant of the X-370. As far as I know, the differences between the two are purely cosmetic. -Edwin P. John wrote: I am John from...
Yep -- also a couple x700's. x-570(x500), xd11, xd7, x370 and several others of the x-family (regrettably, a couple are currently inoperative as is one of my...
hate to admit this but this may be useful for others - it turned out that all it was in the end was a flat battery. I'd "checked" the battery by swapping it...
I have A 360-px flash that has two intermittent problems. 1. When flash straight out it is intermittent and 2. it is intermittent. Minolta doesn't support...
... To digress a little bit, I've seen these backs that fit X-700 cameras. I often have to rewind to feel the tension but if I forget what type of film I put...
Hi, Jim. just a note. ! bad thing to watch out for in the X-9 is that the shutter capacitors wear out on these cameras. A very common problem with this model ...
New alkalines will actually measure about 1.59 volts giving the camera 3.18v. Whatever voltage regulator in the camera will file that down to whatever voltage...
They're part of the camera as it comes out of the box - the x-700's did not have this "window" for whatever reason. Jim (JFranz2777@...) [Non-text portions...
