The beautiful days of Minolta
Re: The beautiful days of Minolta
I am a bit jealous. I remember when both the RD-175 and RD-3000 came out and wanting one knowing that I would never be able to afford one. Being a Minolta collector myself I would love to add a pair of working RD-175 / RD-3000 to my collection. I have been tempted to bid on a couple but I always run into the problem of how to get the images off of the camera.
Would you be up to walking us through the process of actually taking a picture with these two gems? Stuff like which batteries are needed? What storage media (I think they both use non-removable built in memory???). What interface is used to connect the camera to your computer? Didn't one of those two use a SCSI interface? What OS is the computer doing the transfer running? What software do you use to transfer the image? What format is the image after retrieving it from the camera? What software do you use to transform to a image format that is common today?
You have to have a great amount of knowledge to actually take and use an image from these great old cameras. It would be great if you wouldn't mind sharing your knowledge with us?
