Ted Rosenberg, the author of the Minolta 16 Guide of 1973 (yes, he is still alive) is trying to get a copy of the Minolta Miniflex. If anyone has one -- or...
Hi All, I am not sure if this has been talked about earlier, but I guess I'd just be as well ask: When set to aperture priority, one of my Minoltas, an XD7...

Hi Sam, the usual problem of the capacitors has a different behaviour and normally the XD cameras haven't the capacitors problems, this is for the more recent ...

... Thank you so much for your thoughts. I have checked this particular example against three other XD cameras I have and the others all appear to behave...
In Auto Mode (A and S mode) the XD models perform the last metering just an instant before the mirror goes up, this metering is named by Minolta "final check"...
The Pocket flash 110 is the specific flash for the Minolta Autopak 470. Never heard about a Pocket Flash 100, where did you find this reference ? Andrea ... ...

It is wrong. The Minolta Autopak 460T has the flash fixed in the body of the camera, there isn't any Pocket Flash 100 for this model. Some 110 Minolta Autopak...
Andrea, You are correct, of course. The Autopak 460T has a built-in flash. Perhaps there was never a Pocket Flash 100. Still, my Pocket Flash 110 will not work...
I just picked up a nice Minolta 470 110 camera. It is very nice with auto-exposure and a focusing lens. Still, I compare it to the Minolta MGs and there are...
Very odd indeed. I always thought the flash shoes have a standard dimension to fit all the models. Probably the mass production of the Pocket Flashes doesn't...
I have an MG and a 460* and a 470. I used the 470 some because until recently you could by 110 film and processing at Walgreen. This year Walgreen stopped...

I just got out the calipers and measured the shoe of the Pocket Flash 110 vs an Auto 25 off of a Hi-Matic that happened to be handy: Pocket Flash 110 = 1.5...
Maybe I should clarify; All of the shoes seem to be the same dimension in width and breath -- the difference seems to be mainly the thickness. For example,...
The 470 and the MGs are the top models of the two series. The 16mm model has a long history of many fine models behind him, a lot of special accessories as...

I have a 9 that seems to work fine except that the front of the lens is loose and the aperture ring is twisted too far to the left. The ring will only...
A revived passion (in middle age of course) for 35mm film photog. led to recent acquisitions of Minolta XD-11 (1), XE-7 (2), XG-M (1), and X-570 (3), among...
