I, and several others have commented extensively on this matter. Please refer to previous postings to this list for our comments and recommendations on making...
Minolta's X cameras, such as the XG-9, have two tabs on the hot shoe. I always assumed that the extra contact did two things. First, it made the 1/60 LED in...
I can't confirm it but I was trying to get a Nikon SB-24 (flash unit) working with my Minolta X-300 with a strange result. With the flash in Manual mode,...
I am new to this group, am looking to add a manual Minolta to my list of usable cameras. Will most likely get an SRT or X700 but I would really love to get a...

... That's exactly what I thought, but it does not appear to be the case with my camera. If I put the one tab flah on, it sets the shutter speed on the camera....
OK. That's what I thought. But I have a flash with a single tab in the middle. When the flash is on the camera, the speed is ALWAYS set ay 1/60. Makes no ...
I read that in your first post and I can't explain why it would occur. It's possible there's a "sneak" electrical path between the large and small tabs, ...

Hello What version camera and flash are we discussing? Have you taken any flash pictures and have they come out OK, i.e. fully illuminated by the flash? I've...
I have a delima....I've owned my X700 since 1985 and have only used one flash with it - Osram BCS44 Studio off shoe flash. I've had mixed results with it and...
Hi Bill, Are you saying that sometimes the exposure is wrong? Is it light/dark/inconsistent? Or are you saying that the photographs have too much/too little...
... That BCS44 with four settings - is that "full blast" or some sort of "telecomputer" auto-exposure thing? (I don't know that model.) The X-700 can do TTL -...
I just managed to pick up a very nice Minolta 75-150mm zoom lens. What I find interesting is that the rubber waffling seems out-of-place. The Minolta 75-150mm...
The Minolta 75-150mm zoom was only available during the non-Rokkor era... Are we talking about the Celtic type here? And I'm not certain what you are talking...
Hi xkaes, If I may add, 500mm are nice to have in your lens kit. Yes they do have certain restriction such as f-stop (mine is a permanent f8) and doughnuts...
The 75-150 f/4 MD plain arrived in 7/1981 together the 35/2.8, 50/1.2, 50/3.5 Macro, 100/4 Macro. Before that we have a lot of MD plain lenses. The staring of...

Wow, three types ! I always guessed there are two. Minolta never end to amaze us. I must to check the dimension of the prisms of the my 75-150/4. I'll let you...
A thought occurred to me as I was using my pinhole lens with my SRT102 the other day. The pinhole is drilled into a lens cap. It's basically a 50mm f180 lens....
It would be an interesting experiment to try. Are you using one of the Finney caps or did you make your own? ... SRT102 the ... 50mm f180 ... a 100mm ... ...
