Minolta has a long history and was a very innovative company, it is unfortunate it stopped making cameras. When I found out you could buy fantastic older Minolta lenses for reasonable prices I never looked back. My first proper camera was a Minolta, a Dynax 500 SLR, as it was the most affordable at the time (mid 90s). ![]() An advantage of classic film cameras is that you can sell them for the same price you bought if it doesn't fit your needs as expected.Most cameras on this site are German cameras from the 1930s to 50s, but Japanese Minolta holds a special place in my collection. I stumbled upon an old thread on LFF where a forumer loved the Autocord's rendition and he didn't see it in LF. While we're at it, I'd love a Rollei 2.8 but that's mucho film! And again, is the Rollei $1000 better? Maybe not. For that money you could get a few pieces of diverse gear. I am a bit liberal on this, despite having one (Autometer IIIF) I tend to guesstimate too much out of convenience. However, I second getting a handheld meter. I have an OM-1 too (requires a good CLA) that I already got converted through a diode in the electronics. If it still is accurate with hearing aids down to Sunny 16 range, to get an idea better than pure guesstimation then I'd be happy. Different approach that still leaves a 6圆 gap to get a TLR in some future.Ī metered (CdS) model would not be my priority, but it seems you found a sample and features are welcome IMO.
