Thanks for the prompt reply to my question on the black image on the 7d. Much appreciated. About two years ago I picked up a Konica Minolta Dynax 7d listed in excellent condition. I had a few Minolta lens from my Maxxum film camera days that were in great condition. I intended to use them on the 7d. The dynax 7d looked great and appeared to be in good working order. The first few pictures looked great but after a few more shots. the black images started.

That was a very common fault with the KM7D and also KM5D. For some owners, it happened multiple times after multiple repairs.

Since parts and repairs are almost impossiable, I found a used Sony A350 that accepts the Minolta A mount lens.It works well but I still yearned for a workable 7d. lol. I recently located an Alpha 7d on Ebay in Japan.I got it for $250.00 and so far it works very well.

That's good news ... but keep your fingers crossed.
