Quite a rig! Never considered the 1.2 and a Speedfinder as stablemates, however.

That Dynax 7 deserves a better lens! Nice find.

Just received these two lovelies in the mail. Both appear to be working OK although the slow shutter speeds on one seem to be a veeeeerrrryyyy slow.



Can't wait to clean them up, replace the foams and start shooting!

A lovely one! Small and beautiful!

Hi,

Thanks, what gets to me is how similar it is to the so-called Leica clones. Here's another to show it's a bottom loader.

Somewhat over exposed to show the innards. And I love that little tab to stop it falling over.

Regards, David

Hi Addy,

don't wory. There's half a dozen others tae use with it .😎

Haven't tried out the xi yet (nor used one before). It's feels clumsy and slow (to me) but plenty folk on the various sites like it.

 

[Addy101]

What a relief! 😉
You mean the XE - it is the camera in between the SRT's and the XD-series. Never owned one, but read the same favourable reports.

This is a real xi camera, a Minolta 7xi in this case:

Sony A900 | Minolta 85G | f/2.8 | 1/25s | 320iso

Got one of them cleaned up.

No, Ah meant the xi lens. Had a loan of the XE for a month and that made me decide tae buy one. Superb engineering (like all Minolta cameras), of which I have 5. 🙂

Sorry, I missed it was the xi version of that 28-80.

6 months ago I had a single OM2. Don't quite know what's happened...

The foam on the prism is prone to deterirate it at one stage. It's easy to remove the top cover and just remove that foam before it's too late.
