so, I find option 2 adecuate. (I use to forget my cameras with film inside all the time, never on the fridge, but always in dry and not that warm enviroments) ...
The older I get, the more I like the AE finder. I really like the recommended speed and the set speed on the same scale. The AE finder offers that. The AES...

If I read this right, you say don't place a camera in the refrigerator. Why not, because when you take something out of the fridge and introduce it into a ...
Hi When you put a camera in the fridge/freezer, you are subjecting it to a super dry environment which is not good for the lube and mechanicals. Then when you...

Hello my name is Emiliano, I am from Argentina. I have a camera Minolta x-300s that I want it a lot, during the month of January I was traveling the Patagonia...
I refine option 1, and do not consider options 2-4. In option 2, I too often get good shots scratched or get light leaks by the excessive handling just to save...
I now own three 24mm lenses: Minolta MD 24mm 1:2.8 (49mm) Minolta MD W. Rokkor-X 24mm 1:2.8 (55mm) Tamron BBAR MC 24mm 1:2.5 (55mm) I'll probably keep the...
craig.... the TAMRON is one to keep.......that 24mm lens is GREAT.....THE VERY BEST... all you need now is the 300mm ................ albert Williams...
Hello Craig, ... I cannot speak from personal experience about the relative merits of the two Minolta lenses, but I would think that you have personal ...
... If all are mint indeed then you'll want to keep the Rokkor version. It's the famous nine-element design which made Leitz choose Minolta as their partner...
The 24mm discussion has given me pause. Let's say I have an XK (model a) and an XK (model b) -- or perhaps I'm interested in buying an XK. Which model should a...
... Thanks, Olaf and others. After consulting the Minman page, I determined that mine Rokkor lens is the earlier version because it also has the rotating...
Hello, I just received a Minolta X-370 that I bought off of Ebay. I am a complete newby when it comes to these types of cameras so this might be a stupid...
Hi, The X370 is one of my favorite cameras! I've had it well over 15 years, and I've only needed to service it once. Now, to your issue, the red down arrow in...
haha - I don't mind your asking if the lens cap is off. I have worked in support for several products and know the silly things that people do. :-) Yes, the...
Debbie, I owned a X-700 and the primary reason a mirror stays "locked" in the up position is that the "Capacitor" needs to be replaced. This is very common. ...
Cos when you take it out of the frig or freezer, moisture condenses on the outside and the INSIDE of the body and lens. This is seriously not good! Brian ... ...
Debbie, I have to agree with Bill. Don't try to "force" the mirror down. If the eBay seller is willing to work with you, try that. Perhaps you got it for a...
My X300 froze like this last year on holiday (although with the mirror down), the repair shop informed me it needed new capacitors. I was in two minds whether...
