Photos From My Minister D

[vonfilm]

I have had my Minister D for a very long time-over 10 years. I was disappointed with the pictures that I got and put it away. It was too bad because it is in great cosmetic condition.

Earlier this year I found some information online on how to adjust the rangefinder. I followed the directions and adjusted to what seemed to be a proper infinity setting. Below are the results.

I am pleased with the results. The shutter is very quiet and seems to be accurate. The meter still works. I did use my digital Panasonic GF1 as a light meter on most of these shots. The finish and build quality is exceptional in this camera. I will post some photos of my Minister D in the near future.

I had a Minister{ the one with the light meter round the lens } when my kids werw young and was always pleased with the pictures it took , got sidetracked onto cameras with faster lenses , but I dont think the pictures were any better.
