yeah, I've done the same, but honestly don't like my b&w results from my similar Coolscan V ED... grain aliases like crazy... even with the reduced *actaul* ...
Has anyone ever had a Minolta 16 QT whose meter works, meaning that it gives (reasonably) accurate readings? I'm holding one that lights up confidently, but...
I've heard that they exist :) Mine never worked and I couldn't figure out how to adjust it when I took it apart. If anyone knows how, please post it... since...
I picked up a spare negative holder for my Minolta Elite 5400, with an idea to perhaps modifying it for subminiature - break the 35mm intraframe holders to...
It might be a software problem. I wasn't able to get usable results using the NikonScan software for b&w negatives (though it works well for colour), but have...

I have uploaded a JPG file to my folder, "jdelisle" showing the construction of the mask for Minox film in the Minolta Scan Elite 5400II scanner. The lower...
I did what seemed an exhaustive study comparing the two softwares and I couldn't get much better from Vuescan. Best change came from scanning in color mode ...
... Mine, unfortunately, is in the same boat -- I can get the meter to light (with a little tweaking of the contact plates), but it tells me ISO 50, in my...
... I scrounged around in my Minolta 16 stuff, and found that I have five QT 16 cameras. I checked all of them for proper exposure, and only one was accurate...

kinda harsh ... a non-working meter doesn't make it unusable, just a manual camera, and it is very sharp and has the larger negative size. i mean, waddaya want...
shooting my 16-II today I realized I was shooting in between filter No. 1 and none more often than I thought I would... so a question for anyone who has used...

There was some discussion a while back abt. what to do with filters if you had no leather case or the original Minolta plastic holder. Browsing the pharmacy...
I've never seen a '0' lens and it makes a lot of sense when you see the DoF tables. On the 16 and 16II does anyone know what negative dioptre it is? I have UV...

... If you're picky, there is no such thing as DOF, only acceptable levels of defocus -- and when you're routinely magnifying your negative by 10x to make a...
... My main reason for preferring the QT, even as a manual camera, over the MGs is that the QT has a focusing lens. I've had far too many otherwise good shots...
... The diopter strength of the 0 is easily calculated by knowing the focus distance of the bare lens. Given the bare lens has a best focus of about 2.5...
I did just that a few years ago. The doctor was intrigued with my camera and checked the lenses for me. If I recall correctly the reading was -27, but I may be...
Is there a particular use you have in mind for the metal cartridges? They won't fit in the LX and the felt is so old in most of the the light traps might be...
... I've had my optometrist put the "0" lens on his machine, he said it read -.25 (minus point two five). Seems a bit weak to correct for the 16II's 2.5 meter...
minox DID make early brass carts, and i have one, but i c an't recommend them. They're old and usually reasonably banged up by this time. Leica brass carts are...
