Actually, they were outsourced by KMart for Minolta (and for other brands as well). They weren't made by minolta. I have one of these (a 35-105 zoom, don't use...
Hello, I have been shooting on an old Minolta SRT-101 for two or three years now. The other night the shutter stopped working and I fear that it is not worth...
I don't know about all of them (if any of them) being made by Minolta. I have one that I got from my grandmother many years ago, in its original box which...
I just saw this XG-9 on Ebay and cant help but wonder if it was painted or were they sold in a black finish as well? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ...
The XG-9 as well as the XG-7 was sold in black paint finish. That was quite common, even seen advertising for it as well as brochures from Minolta. The XD-11...
Well, I've researched more and have not found a true answer. I did find and old post at one forum stating that the Focal brand 135mm f/2.8 was very sharp....
I recently bought a couple of X300s and few lenses, and one of the lenses is tha Vivitar 24-70 F3.8 - f4.8 VMC Macro focussing zoom. It is a nice lens, giving...
... There is no logic to this. Whether or not it's worth repairing something, has nothing to do with what you paid for it. It's an easy trap that we all fall...
ON February 6, I submitted an Email to this group asking for ideas about how to trigger the shutter of an X-570 or XGA automatically once a day. After ...
I agree with what you say, and it is more the case that the repair cost would be MUCH more than buying another similar lens on ebay. I would love to buy a...
We need to purchase a manual camera for our 16 year old daughter for a photography class for next fall.We want to start seeing what's out there on ebay.What...
I'll leave others to suggest which camera to purchase, but I would recommend that you look on www.keh.com when you decide which camera you want. You may pay a...

That's one of my scans (and not my best). Yes, it was a multi-language instruction manual, Minolta's ubiquitous English/German/French/Spanish version. I only...
... What's the requirements for the class (camera)? Will they "allow" the use of something like the X-700 or a digital camera? What lenses do you have for...
Just a wild guess but I'd suspect the "auto-off" timer of the camera to be the culprit, and not the motor drive. That should be verifiable by looking through...
One rule of thumb: to make her think more than shoot, get sth that has fewer features such as a X370, X570, SRT-102, Super, 303, etc; to make her shoot more...
For someone who is not already very familiar with these used cameras, buying from KEH is a very good suggestion. I agree fully for this need. Better yet,...
I agree, buying used camera from eBay sometimes can be risky. If you want to take the chance, look for a reputable seller, who has positive sales history. ...
I have been purchasing off eBay quite extensive and I have managed quite successfully by asking the seller about the camera, mostly you can tell by their...
Here's my standard list of Ebay questions. I generally prefer to buy from KEH because I'd rather pay a little more and know what I'm getting. You can get...
I think asking all that is a BIG mistake. If I was selling an XK for 3K or up and had forgotten to cover that stuff in the ad, I might answer you if there were...
I agree with you completely that Ebay is like a garage sale. Only buy on a lark and assume your throwing your money away...if you end ug getting something of...
Another point is that if they do lie about the condition of the item you can use it aginst them in a dispute resolution. If you don't ask the question then...
I feel that you’re a little too negative, Chuck. You still have to choose the right auctions admittedly. Consider that I have bought more than 15 cameras off...
Hi, Well, my first SLR (single lens reflex) camera was a Minolta SRT101, I still have it and it still works after 30 years. However, my first choice when I go...
