Hi all,
Well my Sony A700 experience wasn't to good (bad focusing), so on ebay there
was a Minolta 7D camera for $19.95 for bid and it looks like it went though the ringer and I won it.
When I received it there was glue on the control knob on top and back button for the memory
and ISO button, When the battery recharged the camera did turn on but the ISO and memory screen would
come on and off the screen. So I removes the back panel and had to clean the buttons out, put it all back
together and it all worked and takes pretty nice pictures to boot, it really tells you the quality of the Konica/
Minolta camera's after all these years laying around it still works.
Here's some pictures of the finished camera. and all my cleaning stuff.
