Re: MAxxum 9 SSM Mod

Runtime in Germany is still able to perform the SSM upgrade (I am having mine done now) for $300 USD ($200 euros). However, they won't/can't accept shipments from the U.S.A. only from the E.U. So, you need to hand deliver it to Germany or find someone you can ship it to in Germany who can deliver it...

Re: Sony 18-250

I was hesitant to purchase an "all purpose lens" preferring generally to carry primes or, at least, the 28-70 G and 80-200 G. However, I recently bought the 18-250 to travel light and I've been pleasantly surprised by the results. The results are quite good (shooting on the A700) and it co...

Re: What other film bodies do you carry ?

Another Minolta/Rollei user! I also use the Rollei 6008AF, but shoot the A700 most of the time. Still shoot with Minolta XD-11, X-570 and XE-7 on a regular basis when shooting film.

Jeff - New member from Los Angeles, California

Hello Photo Club Alpha. I'm excited to join this group. I've been using Minolta gear for 20+ years now and still have most of the film gear I learned to shoot with (XD-7, X-700, and XE-7), as well as the film gear I upgraded to later on (Maxxum 7 and 9), and more current digital gear (7D and A700). ...
