larrydressler Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi I have the Kiev 303 and the 2 cassets that came with it but I want some Minolta cassets. I recently got a film splitter and want to play around with the Camera. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murray_kelly Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Just noticed your posting. Alex_photo has them for a buck apiece on e-bay. Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 Thanks but I have since got a bucket load of both. I have 2 303s now and a Minolta that I really like. I found the cassette for the Kiev from a dealer in Ukraine for 50 cents each. I lucked out and found the minolta cassets at a second hand store.

murray_kelly Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 That's OK - I suddenly saw it and thought you maybe had had no input. I bought a 30M for fun and to satisfy a question. Could the Kiev capstan that turns the inside of the teke-up spool be interchanged with a Minolta? Yup, I did it, and now have a Kiev 30M that takes only Minolta cassettes and a Minolta that takes both. :-) The point is - if you can't get Minolta cassettes and you really believe Minolta is better, then buy the cheapest Kiev 3xx and switch the innards. My biggest gripe is my scanners have so much trouble 'seeing' the tiny frames and I have had to go back to wet printing. :-( Anyway - Enjoy.
