Thanks for all the comments. Yes it is a K-M A200. It's not a dslr. Sorry i should have been clearer - I just said A200 because it's a Minolta forum. ...
I just got my first Circular Polarizer filter. I can't tell if it just one piece of glass or two? And if it is two is it safe to take apart and clean in the...
Hi Allen, I used the KM A200 exclusively for about 3 years. It was my transition camera to digital after using film for 35 years. I think it's a great little...
... Minolta SLRs and DSLRs do not require circular polarizers: linear is OK and there is no measurable sensitivity at all (so said Minolta in a tech ref)....
Hi Chuck, Years ago i had troubles to get subjects properly focused when used a linear polarizing filter in a maxxum 9, always with a lens above 100mm, I...
Note that your reference says "some cameras" and not Minolta. Minolta's own tech info contradicts that description. I may have the ref somewhere in my files....
The caps from TREASURESALE on Ebay are actually BETTER than stock caps. Item 270242752907 The body caps fit snugger, the rear caps are almost identical, and...
Steve, I too enjoy shooting at air shows. A few weeks ago I shot one near me using a monopod. It really made if difficult to compose, especially when the birds...
Minolta Users Discussion GroupAllen, Will they have a dress rehearsal before the performance? This could be your "dress" rehearsal as well. You could try...
Hello Carl, ... I have over 10,000 shutter actuations on my Minolta A2, which is the immediate predecessor to the A200. I agree that it is an excellent camera...
Hi, I went to use my dimage a1 camera and when I switched it on the view finder image was all destorted and all the colours were wrong. You can just about make...

The front cap in the photo on that page appears to have protruding ears. Is it an illusion, or is the actual cap different from the photo? And does it really...
RL, that is exactly how they look, white Minolta across the front and side squeeze tabs that move to the center. Body caps have the MInolta logo across the...
I've really put my A700 thru a tremendous workout this past week shooting a music festival here in Calgary (Sled Island Festival), and have come away with some...
Then I don't understand how hoods will fit over them. The first poster described a 'flangeless' design, so I expected to see no ears. - RL ... RL, that is...
... Sounds like it might well be the notorious and abominable CCD failure! It happened to both my Dimage A1 and to my wife's Dimage X20. The symptoms were...
The A1 is one of the cameras that suffers from a bad sensor that Sony made for it. The symptoms you describe are consistant with it going bad. You may be able...
The tabs stick out past the edge when they are not mounted on the lens. Place it on the lens and the distance of the tabs being squeezed inward to compress...
... The ears retract when installed, enough to clear hoods. Yes, the text is white, but could be removed if you really wanted to scrape it off. Greg...
Ah, I get it. There is another species that can do the same trick: single piece threaded caps. They're not quick to mount and remove, but are very low profile...
... I couldn't resist buying a used but mint one for my film-based 7. 17mm is rather wide, but I have to get around to picking up the first slide film from...

Matthias, I purchased one new for about $250 a couple years ago for my 7D. It's not the G, but nevertheless, stopped down it is sharp and I like the results I...
Don't fret about that. With Minolta (or Konica Minolta) products the boat's main port of call will always be eBay. And it also docks occasionally at keh.com. -...
You say that a Circular Polarizer is not needed with Minolta SLRs and DSLRs, why? I don't understand that. A Polarizer removes glare and makes for a more...
You confuse the fact that a linear polarizer does the same, and it's the circular part that isn't needed and that was stated clearly in what I wrote and you...
Yeah, you did. And yes I was confused. Thanks for clarifying that. Shawn Chuck Cole <cncole@...> wrote: You confuse the fact that a linear polarizer...
... 250 US$ (I presume that's US currency) sounds like a bargain. ... I know the rumors of coating and the SQF, which made the purchase sort of easy. I usually...
