ok, I gave the Minolta 16-II a good chance... liked the film handling and the camera and initial results ok, but dealing with the fiddly diopters was just too ...

... If you like the 16II except for the diopters, you really should give a Kiev 303 a try. The shutter is more like the 16 (250 top, no B) and there's no...
Hi, Concerning the Kiev 303 and 30, are there filters (yellow, orange, red) available for the cameras? Will the yellow filter from the Minolta-16 II fit the...
From looking at my cameras, it looks as if the Kiev 30 will accept the filters from the Minolta 16-1, but the 303 will not accept filters unless they are...
... I've never seen filters for these, and I'm pretty sure the Minolta filters won't fit -- the plastic shell of the Kiev 30/303 is thicker, as well as having...
yeah... the Kiev 30 was my very first submini camera. ... Well... I would like better flare resistance... and a prettier camera... the Kiev is really pretty...
I've bid on MG-S's from time to time, but never was lucky enough to get one... my QT was pretty much a bust... like many others... (not so reliable)... mark...
I have a spare MG that has been damaged and the film compartment cover is missing. The meter works fine. If anyone needs the meter to get their camera...
If it is a one off payment then cost is not so critical for the use you might get out of the camera. So instead of having patience's for $10 go for $20 to $24....
I've done a lot of shooting with the MG-s and I've never had a problem with close or distance shooting. If the subject is more than six feet away, I use the...
... Okay, then the other option for a larger negative would be a Minolta QT, if you can find a good one (even without the meter, it's no problem to shoot with...
... In outdoor lighting, I can do this with my QT as well, setting manually (the meter doesn't work anyway) by Sunny 16 methods. For that matter, I can do the...
... At the photographic sale and swap I go to once a year there were two QTs, both on one table and both externally mint. On the first one the shutter was...
I've bid over $25 for very nice cameras by themselves... so I wasn't just being cheap... just unlucky... Didn't really love the QT much... felt kind of cheap ...

He must mean viewfinder Pens as opposed to SLR Pens. ... From: "Robert McFetridge" <rmcfet@...> To: <SUBMINI-L@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 13,...
... It is difficult to determine if any camera is well enough designed for long term reliability or not. Having had three new from the factory Minox BLs I say...
That makes sense save for the the fact that the Pen 'S' series are all viewfinder as well. I ma looking for a site that will give the specs on all the fixed ...
I think the VF means 'viewfinder' -- as opposed to rangefinder. I don't know that Olympus made any half-frame rangefinder cameras... but they made a lot of...

I usually look for shutter type, speeds, lens layout and length etc. In the original note I think it identified the Copal shutter as having 2 blades and 5...
... Sorry Joe, ViewFinder Pens. These are the Pens with full manual control of exposure. The EE Pens (ElectricEye) only have 1 shutter speed on manual, usually...
