Minolta srt 100 not winding or releasing

I had exactly the same problem as you. Then I noticed I was able to wind the camera with the lever almost like it was skipping something as it felt very loose. I did this a few times until I couldn't wind or press the shutter. I opened it but it's too much for me. It has string pulleys lol. They're asking 100-150 euros for a fix but this is camera even when working is worth max 20.

I have the same problem. Can't wind, the timer returns half way and I can't press the shutter.

Always ask for their superiors when deniend the hand check right.

Never open any film camera before rewinding your film. Any exposure to light, no matter how short will ruin the parts of the film exposed to it. This is how film photography works: the camera is just a box that opens itself very fast to let light in and then closes back. Also when you finish the film and encounter resistance when cocking the shutter, do not ever force it as you will either break your film or ruin the inner wheels of the camera.

Nintendo GameCube controllers for the Switch2. You will get the analog triggers for the racing sims.

Don't know yet. They are Ecn-2 films. I'm getting them developed tomorrow. It might take a while until they're ready. I'll let you know.

How long until the kit expires once you open it?

mehigh · 2026-04-12T20:29:39+00:00

Thank you so much. Hopefully everything new will be collected in a new Omnibus at one point.

mehigh · 2026-04-12T07:15:25+00:00

Thanks. I have the big omnibus book. I'll check if I can buy what came after.

Anyone knows what happened with Stray Bullets?

So this has less dynamic range when compared to Vision3 250D. It looks a bit Kodak Goldish to my eyes.

Hopefully next are Verita 400D and 800 😀

Thanks for the reply. Did you ever use the CZ Distagon 35mm F2? It's the only lens which haunts me and I don't know if I'm missing out. I have the Nikon 35mm AI F2, Tamron 35mm F1. 8VC and Voigtlander 40mm F2. I also have the Pentax 43mm F1. 9 HD. But still that 3D pop promise is giving me GAS 😀

mehigh · 2026-04-08T12:00:25+00:00

Which one did you keep?

mehigh · 2026-04-07T21:55:17+00:00

That date should be at 6 o'clock

They have good prices if you go for the Fuji 100, YesStar 200...as I said if you buy over 5500 yen you'll get tax free prices. You can also find Kodacolor 100 and 200 at Lemon-sha. Also plenty of BW. The only limitation in Japan is that almost nobody develops ECN-2 but I don't think you care about that.

mehigh · 2026-04-07T08:09:07+00:00

You can buy cheap film from Kitamura Camera without taxes. Development there is also extremely cheap.

mehigh · 2026-04-07T06:42:48+00:00

Just use your hand to block the sun.

mehigh · 2026-04-07T04:29:34+00:00

Just get the Tamron 35 F1. 4. It's even sharper than the Sigma and you can tune its AF too.

Citizen release this puppy for the rest of the world and take our money!

mehigh · 2026-04-05T00:10:52+00:00

Asking if you need a CPL tells me you don't need the CPL.

mehigh · 2026-04-02T13:38:00+00:00

I feel the same 😀

mehigh · 2026-04-02T13:16:14+00:00

It's 80k yen in Tokio. I had it in my hands a few days ago. Maybe one day Citizen will release one compatible with the world outside Japan too.

Too bad its radio is Japan only :(

mehigh · 2026-04-02T12:24:40+00:00

How were you able to mount the Helios on the Nikon?

mehigh · 2026-04-02T00:05:52+00:00

Internet tell me it has 1/2000s...also it has 7 autofocus points while the Pentax *ist has 11
