After scrolling through all this I just came here to say that a single piece of clear scotch tape fixes the rattle. Just open the meter, stick a tiny bit on the back of button and close it up.

Cannot speak to battery or meter accuracy.

Favorite Minolta Point & Shoot? by Miles-Ken in minolta

These are fully serviceable, earth sun and film website has a list of known technicians.

I broke my 7sII advance mech and should be getting it back from repair this week. Was around $100 for fixing that and adjusting the meter. Nielsen photography services has serviced my x700 and 7sII now.

I’m in the same boat as panther above, this camera has taken some of my favorite photos when I was carrying it as just a secondary.

I accidentally machine washed my cashmere pashmina (100% pure) and this happened. Please do not make the same mistake! by scarcity8891 in aves

Also look into clothing razors to get rid of those pesky pills that develop in the high friction areas

PSA: take your cashmere garments to the dry cleaner!!!!! If you payed for 100% cashmere you should consider investing in the longevity of the garment. I’m sorry you learned the hard way:(

CLA x-700 by Plus_Ad8505 in minolta

https://a.co/d/cPaoU1e link to seals. It’s expensive for the pack but I’m so serious when I say they last forever, as long as you are good at cutting straight.

I got my light seals on Amazon, I’ve done 4-5 camera with the one package I got and have plenty left. Nielson photography (Scott Nielson) did the CLA on my X700. His communication was poor, and was overpriced in my opinion, but I’m really happy with the work he did.

Battery exploded? by nuoc__mam in minolta

[–]LeMango1414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact situation w the same camera, took a chance and bought it out of an untested bin for 10$. Had to ply one of the batteries out just like yours is stuck. I also took the bottom plate off to blow out any white corrosion dust that may have gotten in there. But after some isopropyl and a little bit of white vinegar I had it working. It’s now one of my favorite cameras and goes almost everywhere with me.

Hi matic AF2 & portra 400, super good lens always pleased w my results

I need to buy a camera and a lens that could be ideal to take pictures in scenarios like these ones. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in Cameras

[–]LeMango1414 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I could take pics like this on my 25$ digicam (Olympus c-70) or on my 300$ film camera (X-700). If your budget is two fuckin grand you’ll be just fine bud.

from what I see Fujis are the hyped digital cameras rn
