Robert, I would love to have a Contax camera, but I would have to move into my car. My wife already thinks I have too many cameras and one as expensive as the Contax might drive her over the edge. My choice is being narrowed to something that I can use daily (Canon, Yashica, Minolta) and has either batteries readily available or easily obtainable.
What about the differences between the Lynx 5000 and the 14? There is a .4 difference in speed, but is it noticeable? Would I get that much more use out of it? What about the metering? How bright a viewfinder (old guy with increasingly tough eye problems). Thanks so much everyone for you patience!

I would like a RF camera to keep with me. Two models that seem to
have the features I want are the Lynx 14(e); 5000 and this quaint
looking Voigtlander Vitomatic II. I am looking for users of these
cameras to tell me about their experiences with them. I would like
to have a RF to keep with me for those just in case situations, some
street shooting (farmer's market, fairs, actual demonstrations,
etc), situations where I could not use my SLR. Any constructive
critcism greatly appreciated. Luke

Thanks, John!

I have been searching for processing mix and times for Fujifilm Neopan
SS. This is a new film for me and I am just learning about processing
B&W film and do not want to add more chemicals. So does anyone know
what the mix and time would be for this film with Iford Ilfosol?

you have to connect it with the OC-1100 and OS-1100 I think.

I am joining the weeding choir and singing your praises. I think the shots are wonderful. They have your STYLE already written all over them. They carry your sense of wedding photography vision. Great job. I too like the off balance and angled shots. A creative way of telling the bride and groom their lives will never be the same again.

I have this 300mm f/4.5 w/tripod collar and I love it.

"Next thing was to order some 127 film which I am assured is on the way. I will post first results (if useable) when I find someone to process it."
Harry, you want some place that develops 127 film. I can tell you that Universal Color in Crystal, MN <http://www.universalcolor.com> does a great job and it is not too expensive either. Universal Color

David, we are Minolta shooters. That is enough to stir up a controversy anywhere there are photographers. We have not backed down from the Nikon and Canon apostasy, so let's give it a try. Start with the Gardens Alive. I am taking credit for starting the brouhaha if one begins.

I notice some of the other fora have w/nw postings with images. Is
this just not something that the Minolta forum has shown an interest
in or is there a prohibition of it? I know some of you are really
competent photographers and I think you could inspire some of us who
are struggling sometimes and we could show of how are great Minolta-
minds work. What do you think? I can't post one now, but I promise
I will when the kids are in bed tonight.

I like them both and think that you could have a selection of both printed. If forced to choose, I would suggest the first. If people are looking for wedding photogs, they can get an idea of what you want. The first image grabbed my attention immediately; the second was good but not as effective...Just MHO.

check out Mark Hama. I have been considering sending him a Yashica but it only has a bad meter and I have wonderful handheld meter. Some swear by him; others swear at him. I have heard that it is best to contact him by email. Here is his URL http://www.markhama.com/

Yes, Joseph, the lens should work fine. All AF Minolta lenses work with AF Minolta SLRs. Some newer lenses have newer capabilities that the older bodies can't take advantage of but they will work on all the old bodies.

if you have any other Minolta flashes such as the 3500xi, the 5400xi, 3600hss, 5400hss then you can use the stand that accompanies those wireless flashes. if you do not have one you can purchase one from KEH or search the great e-Bay. The KEH purchase might not justify the huge s/h charge, but if you are buying something else it would fit in nicely. a second option is to ask on the Minolta lists if someone has an extra they are willing to part with. Good luck!

ditto the positive on digitalfotoclub

I have purchased film from B&H as well. No complaints at all.

unless of course you have one of those wonderful climate sealed cameras like the Minolta Maxxum 9. Even then you have to be careful of the lenses; that rain is a prime opportunity for the beginnings of fungus in the lens.
SR& Meter

I know that my SR7 has a good battery in it, but I can't make the
meter needle move. I can use the camera with handhelf meter, but
would like the convenience of this on camera model. I know that the
meter needle can move as it shakes with the camera. What might be a
simple fix for this before I take it in for an estimate?
