Re: I am thinking of buying a Minolta Film SLR (AF models)

After all this time i did find the time to send my film for developement

I realized after the fact that the camera has some problem and the Aperutre is always set at F22 or something similar (aperture magnet error from what i read online)

Thankfully i used my adapted Helios 58mm 44M4 for some shots (that went smooth)... all the other shots that i took with the minolta 35-105 failed (the film was blank on them)

Developement of film was super cheap and i only had to to the scanning of negatives myself (KODAK Colorplus 200ASA)
