Read full review Read less Verified purchase Yes by hrhcarla October 29, 2013 If learning the art of photography is what you have in mind, GET THIS. I know that the local camera snobs look down their noses at this camera, but my son and I love it. Its a workhorse of a camera, and my son will learn about taking fantastic photos with this camera. Hes an aspiring photographer, and he wants to learn to take incredible photographs, not some lazy pointandshoots., His first day out with the camera, with no knowledge except for the little he learned in photography class, he took good photos. He is quickly learning the ropes, and as we buy inexpensive additions such as a flash and different lenses, he learns more and more., If you want to learn how to take photos with skill and style, this camera is for you. It isnt fancy, camera snobs distain the thing, but it cant be beat.http://www.majcentrum.pl/user_uploads/file/elevator-manual-pdf.xml 1.0. Youll learn the art of photography with this camera, and it truly rocks oldschool., My only worry is that film will become difficult, if not impossible, to buy. Then well see the end of a truly lovely era in photography.. Read full review Read less Verified purchase No by 8370221 January 07, 2010 Minolta, Only the best for my photos I have been a photographer for years and have numerous cameras both 35 MM and digital. I began taking photos when I was 10 years old with a Kodak Pony 35 35 MM camera. During my early years I took literally thousands of slides. my favorite media I began being more serious about photography when I started college. I took all the photos for the yearbook, developed them, and designed the yearbook for 3 years. I took hundreds of photos while there and then I was recognized by the local newspaper as a good photographer and began having my work published in lots of newspapers. I became the official photo guru for the college and covered all the important events with my cameras. My first camera was a Yashica J7 SLR for these photos. I later purchased a Yashica Electro 35 and a Mat 124 G for student photos for the yearbook. These cameras were used for years and as a matter of fact I still have them all and use them regularly for photos. I have a total of 9 cameras, 2 of them are digital. Yet, when I go on a trip simply to shoot photos, there is always at least 3 35 MM film cameras with me. I simply have the film put on CD and then I can do what I wish with them once they are digital. I borrowed a good friends camera while my two best were in being tuned up. It was a Minolta XG1 and I took a half dozen roles of film with it. This changed my opinion about Minolta. This is a simple camera but took flawless photos. I do semipro photography work and have a few published in various places. At 74 years of age, I want a good really prolevel camera that doesnt make mistakes. So I found a Minolta XG1 on EBay at a reasonable price and bought it.http://sunwoodrealestate.com/sunwood/img/userfiles/callaway-razr-rangefinder-manual.xml It works really well and I liked it so much I purchased a Minolta X700 35 MM camera which in my opinion is one of the finest ever produced. EBay is a fantastic place to find photographic items at a reasonable price. I purchase cameras and camera related items from EBay on a regular basis. If you carefully read and pay attention to what the seller says about the item, you can get real value for your dollar. I am a confirmed EBay buyer and a Minolta camera freek now. Plan on purchasing some other items for all my cameras in the near future. Digital is OK but there is nothing like 35 MM film cameras for photography. I have digital also but never leave home without my 35 MM cameras. EBay is awsome to purchase thru. The stuff turns to tar over time. This is not a difficult job, and Interslices generic light seal kit will walk you through it., No TTL flash metering like on the X570 or X700, so youll have to either calculate flash exposure manually or use flashes with a sensor on them., The leatherette tends to shrink and peel away from the body. The Cameraleather website can sell you new stuff.,, This specific review is for the XG1, but except for the XGA and XGM all the rest of the XGs are mostly the same. For most users, Id recommend that camera instead. As a first in the lineup of Minolta SLRs, these cameras were inoperable without a battery. They still used the outdated CdS metering system and had a competitive cloth shutter. By just slightly touching the release button, the photographer activated the electronics and the LEDs lit up for about 15 seconds. The XG series had a dedicated motor drive, the Winder G and the flagship of the series, the XGM, could even be mounted on the 3.5fps Motor Drive 1. Also a data back, the Data Back G was available. This series can be seen as the ancestor of the most successful of all manual Minolta SLRs, the famous Minolta X700.Many of its features continued through to later XGseries bodies. All models were available in either chrome and black finish or with an allblack body.It has a centerweighted metering system with two CdS cells and a mattefresnelfield focusing screen with a horizontal splitimage spot surrounded by a microprism field. Unfortunately in manual mode the LED does not show the metered shutter time. The bottom of the camera has coupling for the Winder G, introduced with the camera. The main power switch has a self timer setting, which delays the shutter actuation for approximately 10 seconds. A red light on the front flashes until the shutter fires. The same light is used for the B.C. battery check setting of the main switch. The flash shoe is the same as with the XD series and has a second small contact. This contact synchronizes the camera with a dedicated Minolta XFlash like the Auto Electroflash 200X. Besides the Xcontact in the flash shoe, it has a flash terminal at the lens bayonet. Next to it is a socket for an electronic cable release like Remote Cord S or L or a mechanical cable release. The camera doesnt have a stopdown button.Metering is done by depressing the shutter button halfway. The shutter speed then selected by the camera is shown in the viewfinder by a red LED. This is indicated by a red triangle in the viewfinder. Stop down the lens until a shutter speed is shown and youre ready to shoot again. Reviews on the web suggest Minolta wanted to avoid confusion.It was basically a XGE with a less informative finder display and a nondetachable back door. It was available in two versions in chrome finishing only and was an export model, not sold in Japan.Later that year, the XG 1 was replaced by the XG1n with a new body design with a plastic front grip like the XGM.

  • Canon R-Serie Canon Flex Mai 1959 Flex
    Canon R-serie Canon Flex Mai 1959 Flex The top-class 35mm camera market gradually shifted from rangefinder cameras to single-lens reflex cameras. The major reason was that SLRs could handle close-ups, photomicrography, duplication work, and other applications without being constrained by the limits of rangefinder camera lenses. When Canon introduced the Canonflex, its first SLR, there were already eight SLR models on the market. The Canonflex used a high-quality, breechlock lens mount. The lens flange ring was turned to lock the lens onto the camera flange's bayonet lugs. The lens flange and camera flange did not rub against each other like today's lens mounts.The camera used Super-Canomatic lenses which had a fast, fully-automatic diaphragm. A 130-degree winding trigger at the camera bottom enabled quick film advance. An external selenium exposure meter could also be attached. Canon R-serie Canon Flex RP September 1960 Flex RP To cut costs, the camera had a fixed, eye-level pentaprism viewfinder. This was the economy or "Populaire" version of the Canonflex. The self-timer was operated by a simple lever, and the pentaprism cover was part of the single-piece top cover. Other features and performance were the same as the original Canonflex. Canon R-serie Canon Flex R2000 September 1960 Flex R2000 Deluxe version of the Canonflex. With a top shutter speed of 1/2000 sec., the fastest ever for any camera, the R2000 was a high-performance 35mm SLR. Other than that, it was the same as the original Canonflex. The viewfinder used a Fresnel matte focusing screen without a rangefinder.
