Hi Marcus, I was willing to give PCR the benefit of the doubt when getting the camera back from them, but today the camera froze up again on the first frame....
Somewhow the image of ghostbusters entered my mind. ;-) But this is true - - no other piece if equipment seems more personal to a photog. I've been thru over a...

Hi, I'd appreciate hearing from those members who have used both the 21mm f2.8 MC Rokkor-X and the 20mm MD Rokkor-X. Years ago I owned the 21mm (sold it) and...
Hi Steve. ... From: "Steve and Angela" <nyc_ir_cpl@...> 1. Needless to say, my next trip to B&H will have me pick up a sensor cleaner. ... If you'll be...
Hi all I'm looking to puchase some ( make that 2) Minolta or KM body caps (AF) and (3) rear lens caps I know you can get aftermarket ones on ebay, but some...
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I can't decide on one without trying them, but this one looks really nice. Unfortunately the camera stores in my town have...
Hi, Your right about some of the caps sold on ebay, unless they are originals they are very cheap. Try KEH camera: http://www.keh.com/onlinestore/home.aspx ...
Hello Bill, You are probably working in Panic (the green Auto) mode and that's why you loose your settings every time you turn your camera off. Change to the...
Hi, I prefer, and use, the Slingshot 100. It has enough room for the 7D/A700 with a lens attached, plus a couple of lenses and a Flash, with a couple of...
Yeah, the first time I've heared my hood mentioned on this board!! Wooo hooo!! Anyway, just incase you're not familiar with the local haunts, there's Central...
I've been to the Helix and central camera, but I'm going to be in the Desplaines area or around there for a wedding reception so I'll have to look around out...
I stumbled across this eBay listing a couple of days ago: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310055466924 The description says it's for Minolta...
Hi, Your right, it's a MD mount not AF. Many sellers don't have a clue to what they are selling and assume the bidders will. What is worse is many don't know...
... The lens pictured is an MD-type. I saw a similarly misworded ad for a 300mm APO just a few days ago. White lens, but flange looks like MD/MC type SR...
To use my old 5400* flashes with a700 I bought cactus radio transmitter and receiver (made in china). While connecting transmitter to studio (PC) sync on a700...

Hi, The trend seem to be towards longer zoom lens, from very wide angle to medium telephoto; one lens, one camera. On holiday I would favor 18250, but for my...
The SAL-18250 because you get the extra zoom. It is a wonderful lens. I purchased it recently and it is a fast lens, and takes beautiful pictures. I have a...
There is no Minolta 16-105mm lens. I think you have two Sony lenses, or your Minolta lens is a completely different zoom range. - RL ... I have a minolta...
You are right, it's the Min 24-105D. It's been my favorite for quite some time. I have one that I used on my 7D, and then on my A700. Since I purchased the...
Hi All, I just picked up a cheap 5d for a buddy of mine and wanted to make sure it was ready to go before I gave it to him. Can anybody tell me what the...
That's current. There has never been a firmware update for the 5D. The 'u' is for USA (Maxxum); 'e' would be for Europe (Dynax); and presumably there is also a...
There has been some discussion of the SAL-18250. I've read that one difference between it and its Tamron sibling is that the Sony has a circular aperture...
Hi folks I've been asked what the build date of my one 7D is, if it is before 23/01/2006 or after. This leads me to 2 questions: 1) what is the significance...
I may be wrong, but I think the 7D was out of production by 2006. After all, Konica Minolta left the camera business on March 31, 2006. So I would be surprised...
I just found out that the only pro lab in my town is shutting down. I shoot both digital and film, so I need a good lab. Can anyone recommend a lab in the...
