... I got rid of all my Minolta bodies except for 2 SRT 101's which have been CLA'ed by Terry's Camera repair. I just want battery-less bodies these days. -- ...
You totally misunderstand! In Britain, there are "car boot" sales every Sunday (also Saturdays). You can pick up something wonderful like the SRT101, but also...
hello, i will probably buy this lens to put on my x-570 camera. what do you think about this lens ? is it possible to move the zoom (changing from 70 to 210)...
Hi everyone, Just got started getting Minolta MF SLR equipment after years of hopping from one brand of SLR to another. Reason? I started many years ago...
The 70-210 f/4 is one of my favorite lenses. Yes you can focus and zoom simultaneously, it has one-touch focus zoom. Let me know before you buy one, perhaps I...
mndean, I went the other way, started out with an XE-7 back in 1976, then got an XK and later switched to an XD-11 and X-700, mainly for a brigher viewfinder...
Yes it stops. First you start watching ebay to determine going prices.. Then you start buying full setups that contain the single lens you want, with plans to...

Today my Hi-Matic stopped working properly and I'd like some opinions on cause and repair options, if possible. This was the first time I've run film through...
... I guess I'm lucky I haven't spent thousands of dollars yet, or even much over $300 for everything I have (I do like a bargain). I know the lenses are going...

I bought this lens for my x-700 a few months ago. It is fantastic. And yes it is possible to move the zoom while changing the focus. Glenn ... focusing ?...
All of the gear I've bought recently was from Ebay and haven't gotten a receipt. But if you had a receipt all that would show is that you bought a perticular...
Hi XKAES, I think you mean the 75-200mm f4.5 lens. I believe the 80-200mm f4.5 was the "first" in that range for Minolta. I've seen them few and far between on...
