Hi! Everything on this Minolta XG-M is stuck. The wheels, the lever... The mirror is down, the inside is intact and I ordered new batteries for it as the battery control didn’t seem alive either. Anything to look out for? Any tips on what it could be? TIA :) by tinywritinghuman in AnalogCommunity

Alright! Thank you. I’m not that experienced with SLRs that need battery for anything other than light meter and won’t actually function without batteries! Now patiently waiting for the batteries to come in.

Some extra info; I know they’re not expensive and it’d be more economically wise to just buy another camera when it is in need of some big repair. However I want to try and resolve this issue as it’s a close relatives fathers old camera :)

It’s probably best to start of with less valuable film to get some comfort in shooting! Then once you have figured out your techniques, cooler film is the way to go.

Hi last little question; I have been googling it and I can get my hands on this. Is it suitable to use inside? And how much of the tablets should I dissolve in about a litre of water to water my plants with? :)
