I take still life closeups with my Minolta X-700, and consistently get slightly out of focus photos. The viewfinder shows them perfectly in focus, as does the...
Try to take a landscape or something else at infinity point using the maximum f stop i.e. 2,1.8 or 1.4. It depends on the lens you will use. I think, if camera...

Thank you, Kyp I do take "rrom size" photos occasionally, using a 50mm Minolta MD lens, and a Tamron 70-210 telephoto. Those shots also come out a bit blurry,...
Thank you, David; Sorry, you lost me on the magnifying glass. Do I have the lens on or off the camera body at that point? Thanks, ... and it will ... farther ...
There is a lens function in the viewfinder system, and that could be out, but that's just not likely (lensing needed to make the screen seem at infinity to the...
Hello Antifa. I agree with the other responses that your camera needs to be adjusted. I also wonder why you choose a 28mm wide angle for such close-ups. A 50mm...

The advice here about getting the focusing screen looked at seems valid to this non-expert, too. Also: is it possible that it might be the pressure plate in...
I wear glasses too (bifocals!) and they drive me crazy when I need critical focus. How do know what correction to get for the eyepiece, short of trial and...

Hi, I am looking to get a teleconverter for my x-700. I am planning on using it with my 70-210 lens. I have a 400mm lens but it is massive and I find I don't...
