BeBu Lamar Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I have the 9xi and 800si. I hate those 2. I do like the 9 but I don't have one and the 7 which I have is quite nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I've never owned the 9, but from what I've read it was the top of the line Maxxum. It shares the same 1/12,000 top shutter speed of the 9xi but is IMHO, a much more desirable camera. The 9xi, although top of its range, continued with some of the somewhat aggravating features of the lesser xi series. The main reason I picked up a 9xi was it was cheap, yet fully functional. I believe the top 9 had a titanium body (or at least partially titanium). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilmarco Imaging Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Loaded a roll of TX into the SR-1 last night and made a few portraits with studio light. Surprised to find no accessory shoe! I used a PocketWIzard with the transmitter hanging from my wrist with the lanyard, kind of funny. Looking forward to seeing the Rokkor lens performance. I did find the accessory shoe clip on device for this camera, online.

rick_jack1 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Just used my minolta srt101 with 7.5mm rokkor to capture this image using agfa 200 iso colour negative film (rebranded fuji?). [ATTACH=full]1217405[/ATTACH] Very nice image. I'm glad to see someone still using that lens. I wish I used mine more before I sold it. I found the 16mm to be more useful for my style.

Wilmarco Imaging Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 A test roll through the recently gifted camera. Fresh film with a more careful technique will be interesting. Fun camera.

Wilmarco Imaging Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 The test roll has shown me that the SR-1 with the Rokkor lenses is capable of making nice images. Need to be careful about strong light sources and flare. I guess that is consistent with the coating technology these lenses received.

Martin Rickards Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Another one here, with an X500 (570 for you in America), a,bright short zoom and FP4+. I started with an SRT101. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylynn Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I was shooting film with a pair of XD11’s and Rokkor glass until a few years ago when the good film shop near me shut down. I don’t have enough time to soup my own BW film anymore. So now I have an A7 and adapters. Maybe some day I’ll be retired and will set up a darkroom. As good as digital gets, for me there’s something about the physical objects of negs and optical prints that it can’t replace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
