Minolta Hi-Matic G

Jack, thanks for the advice; I just signed in to Photobucket and I find it a bit strange to navigate, but perhaps it's just me. Anyway, I've downloaded some pics from my Minolta G2 in it but I'm not usre how to get them into RFF as attachments. How do you do it?

When you hover over your picture in your Photobucket album without clicking yet you will see the IMG code options. Click on the bottom one (IMG Code) and it will copy the code. Or you can simply click on your picture of choice from your album and when you see it appear larger when the page opens and freshens, you will see the codes over on the right hand side of the page. Again just click on the bottom IMG code link and it will highlight as "copied" Then just paste it with a right click in the reply area to this thread. Once you are successful I will show you how to do multiple files. Good luck.

I believe RFF has made some new changes and I'm now able to download pics in my messages. Here's some with my mint black Minolta G2.

Harlee, I really like the heron photo, though it seems a bit digitally challenged. Something go wrong with the scanning?

I no longer scan my pictures, unless they're older pics. I have a Canon scanner which generally does a good job. What I do now is simply get a CD without any pictures and then run the CD through my "Picture It" software. I must admit that much depends on who makes the CD. It's like negs, some people do a much better job making the CDs than others. I have my CDs done at Target where they use Kodak software, and sometimes I notice a big difference in the quality of the CD due in part that some of the younger guys that work there don't give a hoot. I've spoken to the female clerk who does a much better job than those young boys, and complain about the quality; unfortunately the younger guys develop and burn the CD when they're on duty in the evenings. I can usually enchance them and make them look better than the way I receive them, but not always. Thanks for your help and input farlymac!

I've been using my Hi-Matic G the last month or so, and have some images to share.

Some great images there Joe. Thanks for sharing. They sure are handy little cameras.

mine has a dead meter, and dead needle, but it works, I've taken a roll with it at the batteryless fixed 1/30th.

I have a question about using the GN for 2.8 to 14. How does that map? What GN is equivalent to which aperture
