Hi Everyone, I recently picked up an XD-11 that is in very good shape however I can't get it to focus at infinity. It seems I need to turn the focus ring just a little bit more to get the prism aligned but can't. I have tested the lens with another camera and the lens does'nt seem to be the problem. I have read something about "mirror angles" being out of adjustment? Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix or what it takes to fix it. Thanks! Richard

Ok thanks everyone.

Hi Everyone, I recently pickup an XD-11 that was in pretty good shape however it won't focus at infinity. It seems like you need to turn the focus ring just bit more but can't. I've heard that there is some sort of adjustment you can do to fix this, I think something about the mirror angle? I have tried other lenses and it definitely is a camera issue. Does anyone know how to fix this, and if so what tools may be needed? Thanks.

Rodeo Joe, thanks for your response. I agree, " a bit like old humans". I will give that a try.

Hi Everyone, I recently purchased an F2 that appears to be in good condition. However, when holding the camera up to a light all the shutter speeds seem to be fine as far as speed and letting light through the shutter curtain except the 1/2000. It seems to wind just fine and retract when clicking the shutter button, just no light gets through. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks John. That makes sense since it was sent to me priority mail.

<p>I recently purchased a pristine Mamiya RB 67 Pro SD off Ebay and ran a roll of film through it. It was one of two rolls that came with the camera, Ilford FP4 that will expire on Nov 2016. Here are the results. There is an odd "S" shape symetrical swirl that runs the length of the film. I used Ilfosol 3, Ilford Stop and Ilford rapid fixer all fresh. Two shots were not exposed properly but you can really see the issue here. Any idea's. I hope its not the camera. <img src="/Users/richardazar/Desktop/IMG_2291.jpg" alt="" /></p> <div></div>

<p>John, this was the problem exactly. I bent the inside of the contact spring down and the problem was fixed. A great thanks for your help!</p>

<p>Tried to find something on the web for this but couldn't, so posting to the forum. I have an oddball issue with two of my minolta SRT 201's. Both have issues with the light meters in that they don't work with the battery cover screwed all the way in, but when you unscrew these about 3/4 of a turn the meters work fine. I am using Duracell 625A batteries in them. This is the same battery I use in my SRT 101 with a tight battery cover and it works fine. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Any help would certainly be appreciated. <br> Thanks.</p>

The lever does look like its a little off. Either bent back or bent down, or both. Thanks for the info Rick. I'll see if I can do some repair on it.

<p>Hi, I have just purchased a very nice Minolta SRT 102 and am having an issue with the lens not locking on the mount. The normal 50mm will mount if I fiddle with the locking button, however the 28-70 MD zoom I have will not lock at all. Any ideas what might be wrong and how to fix? The camera is in great condition and doesn't look abused.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>
