<p>I was lucky enough to pick up a working X-570 for $10.00 and you may also want to consider it ( if you can find one ).<br>

Rokkor Files has an excellent write-up on it.</p>

<p>Congradulations,you have aquired excellent camera. A good explanation of its features, and all things Minolta, is available on the "Rokkor Files" :<br>

Any of the older photography books such as "The Joy of Photography" should answer most of your questions - check you local library to find a publication you like. There is also a wealth of information on this site and you can start with this :<br>

Yes, there is silicate kitty litter complete with the blue moisture indicator. Cheap and available at your local supermarket.

It looks like the bottom part of a Rowi flash foot mini ball head gizmo.

I have one but this part does not detach.

If you are still interested, I have an extra that fits the 4 and 5 and it also fits my Eromaster. I am only a "lurker" here so I'm not to sure if I have a message box. You can email me directly @ dean@canfinplan.com.

Was this it?

I use the silica cat litter. Cheap and should be available everywhere.

Make your own container (old socks - altoids tin; whatever)

Olympus Ebay refurb/new site:

They tend to be newer models so most are over $100.

Shipping is fast and reasonable and they have a warranty.

"Strobist" has a currenr article on shopping for and using fluorescent strip lights. Actually they have budget hints on anything to do with flash. Good reading.

Ontario County is in NEW YORK.

Google seems to think this in the USA.

I am in the same boat - N8008s and looking for a flash.

In my web ramblings I came across this site with the manual for the SB25 and other goodies.

Something went wrong. This is how the camera industry was supposed to unfold.

You can read the entire interesting article if have a Sept. 1946 copy of Popular Photography in your library.
