Re: dismantling minolta

Thank you for the tip =D>

I happen to have a trashed D12 to play with so I can become familar with taking it apart in case I ever need to go into the good one.

Nope!, Have it on video. Will gather with the family and watch it once (JUST once!) Therefore, for me it "being on TV" is kind of a technicality. If you are saying they beat it to death, I am absolutely in agreement! Yeah thats what I meant, they beat into the ground then air it some more.

Re: Minolta autopak8 - D12, can opener?

Thanks for answering. I will be looking for a repair manual, please let me know if anyone stumbles over one. The manual aperture works, but trying to repair and fix things is part of the fun, as long as I can film with something else meanwhile. It's a fabulous camera, but way to heavy for handheld ...

Re: Minolta autopak8 - D12, can opener?

Hi, can anyone help me with repair of a Miniolta D12, i.e. tips on getting in to the aperture metering system on this "built like a tank" camera. Looks like I have to dismantle the optics to get the metal cover off the body?? Bought this on ebay, but the autoaperture hits full close as so...

As much as I know, there never existed pre-paid Kodachrome envelopes, only Ektachrome processing envelopes. A lot of K40 mailing envelopes are sold today on eBay claiming they would be pre-paid processing mailers while the Swiss lab continously repeats that a K40 envelope does *NOT* turn a non-pre-...

No, but I better get with it cause I've got about 15 prepaid Kodachrome envelops to burn through before the Swiss lab closes doors.

Re: Canon Auto Zoom 518: sound?

I purchased a Canon Auto Zoom 518 recently and found that it had what appeared to be a 3.5 mini jack that was labeled "sound". Above that there is a jack labeled "remote". Is there some way I could hook this up to a tape recorder to record sync sound or would I have to buy some ...

The Minolta intervalometer-p uses the exact same battery pack (5 AA) as the camera does. I see them on ebay cheap from time to time.
