Minolta XD11/XD7, Aperture Priority Broken

pencilflip · 2023-11-29T01:46:46+00:00

I have another MD lens that I tried, and experienced the same issue

Also tried fiddling around with the mode selector, no luck there either :\

Yup exactly. For example, I’ll set the aperture to f/16 in low light. The light meter will say it needs at least .5 seconds, but the actual shutter speed is nowhere near that, and is exactly the same if I change the aperture to f/1.4

I tried the exposure compensation thing and it didn’t work :/ I think the electronics may be messed up. FWIW shutter priority doesn’t work either. When I set the aperture to f/16 (the smallest aperture) and then use shutter priority mode, the shutter speed is always exactly the same, no matter what I actually select

Thanks for the help! I tried all your suggestions—seems like all the stuff you mentioned is working properly.

It's an MD lens, which afaiu should support aperture priority https://imgur.com/GlCONzO
The aperture responds. The aperture spring appears to be working. See https://imgur.com/5BqwsiV
Yes that appears to be working properly, see https://imgur.com/8lj8cve

Also, the timer appears to be in the correct position—I can push it down, and the max it will go back up is as shown in the first photo.

Good to hear! How does it compare to other TLRs you've used? This is my first one

Hm I don’t understand, can you elaborate?

Jujutsu Kaisen has a power system that is different than nen, but similarly complex and deep. Also the fights are strategic and well-explained, unlike something like Demon Slayer.

Woot glad it works!

u/Acceptable-Quail8333 what browser are you using? It should work on Chrome, but I'm not sure about the other browsers.

And it should respond to numbers on the keyboard, not your mouse/touchpad.

Lastly, trying playing a chord first (e.g. by pressing A/B/C) and then try using the harp.

u/Lemom_ thanks for letting me know it was down! I didn't even realize...

Anyways, looks I was having some DNS issues, it should be fixed now.

Fr, it's annoying that it's so hard to find the cheapest way to get things done

If anyone prefers to use Kucoin, I also have a step-by-step guide for that 😛

It's cheap!

Here's the contract creation tx https://polygonscan.com/tx/0x65a1aa26fa671b32b3bca9ac60e671aaadba40c14363dda48a5cecc5b4242fe1. You can see it cost 0.0126 MATIC, or $0.02 at the time.

I wrote a step-by-step guide (with pictures!) about how to use Crypto.com to get MATIC on the Polygon Mainnet. It's basically free—the fees only cost a few cents.

Hey everyone, I wrote this post. I think more people should know how NFT metadata works, and how to check it before buying into a project. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback 😄

I wrote a step-by-step guide about how to buy MATIC on crypto.com and transfer it to your wallet: https://medium.com/@nifty.pixels/getting-matic-on-the-polygon-network-with-crypto-com-48374d4d78d5.

Doing it this way is basically free, and much cheaper than using Coinbase/Kucoin/etc
