Re: First Frame Black (FFB) Problem of Konica Minolta Dynax 7D

Knock on wood: just tried mine for the first time in a couple of months, and the first frame was fine. Then tried using the built in flash, and got a way over exposed shot that required -3EV EC to correct (FEC didn't make a difference). Still, a great camera to shoot with, and, yes, very comfortable to switch between this and the Maxxum 7. The 7D is a lot heavier, but otherwise quite similar.

The only down side is that it's APS-C, so the coverage isn't a direct match for the lenses. One option, though, if you want to share lenses, is to use a 1.4X TC, like the Kenko MC4, and then you get pretty much the same field of view with a DT (APS-C) lens on the TC + Maxxum 7 as you do with no TC on the 7D.

Works fine even with a relatively recent Sony 18-250.
