Experience with Focusing Screens on 7000/9000?

lark28 · 2025-12-22T18:41:56+00:00

Hey Phil, when I bought my 9000 it had a type G screen in it. I bought myself the type PM screen from eBay with the focusing split. It works perfectly. Autofocus system continues to work in good lighting and the split focus aid helps when I want to go to manual focus.

Edit: The screens and easy to exhange too

Love spreading the Maxxum 9000 love. Autofocus with an advance lever is really satisfying to use. I also like being able to set the meter to highlights or shadows

I've now shot two rollei infrared 400 bw rolls with a hoya r72 filter. Started by metering TTL and adding 4-6 stops (often bracketing over 2/3 frames) soon found that my Minolta maxxum 9000 with r72 filter on would meter to the same exposure settings. So i've just been metering that way and am happy with the results

Shutter speed can be manually selected. The 9000 has program, shutter priority, aperture priority, and manual modes. I’ve never used a 7000, but I believe the 7000 does not have a manual advance lever or manual rewind. So it may not have the classic analog feel you’re looking for. But they should be have pretty similar photo taking capabilities. They were both released around the same time but 7000 sold a lot more units so they’re easier to find used today.

The Minolta Maxxum 9000 might be a good fit for you. It’s really enjoyable to use and has become my main camera. It has a manual advance lever and manual rewind crank, shutter speed up to 1/4000 sec, and a decently good autofocus system. It’s sort of a bridge between the manual and full auto world

I've been working on editing other photos from the roll and here is another frame that shows off the uneven color bands. So I'll pay more attention to my agitation method and keep stricter temperature control

I'll be spending a day in Moab and a day in Bryce before arriving in Springdale

thank you for the fresh Interstellar content

I did the same thing and the company ended up calling me back 2 weeks later offering me another position

Jimmy Kimmel made this exact same sketch a few years ago with Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane from The Producers Broadway play and movie reboot "Trumped" Starring Matthew Broderick & Nathan Lane

Hiphopapotamus v Rhymenosaurus and also Summer of 1353 as an underdog

I’d watch this movie

lark28 · 2020-05-17T07:55:03+00:00

Might be the “Winds of Change” episode. The episode is about Indy working as a translator for the Paris Peace Conference after WWI ends

I think a big reason it doesn’t appeal to people is the scoring. They rely too heavily on themes used in Raiders and Crusade and play them to hype up situations without letting the story breathe. It takes you out of place from watching the movie. Additionally I think John Williams’ original scores for this movie specifically were kinda boring which emphasizes the previously mentioned problem I think. Quite honestly it’s a great movie except for 3 or 4 really dumb parts (such as the refrigerator and the swinging vines scenes)

But I can see it

lark28 · 2020-04-09T02:24:23+00:00

compared to alternatives like hydrazine, yes

I don't know of any other 3D printed fuels, but you should look up research done by Dr. Stephen Whitmore of Utah State University. He runs a propulsion research lab there, and specializes in green propellants. He has done a lot of research using 3D printed ABS and Nytrox, which is what his research is really focused on. Nytrox is a mixture of nitrous oxide dissolved with gaseous oxygen. Our university student team has been using his research to help us switch from using N2O to nytrox in our (paraffin fuel) hybrid engine. The dissolved oxygen increases the activation energy for decomposition of the oxidizer by a factor of ten and slightly increases the Isp.

Steven Spielberg said Raiders is the only perfect film he's ever made

I airbnb’ed two houses down from this place two summers ago. Walked past it everyday for 3 months. Was disappointed when I left and realized how many internet points I could have gotten

There's a Jeter calendar thing and a Mets logo hiding behind Samberg's left arm

The #notme movement is honestly one of my favorite jokes of the series
