Thanks for the information 01af, I do have both those lenses and it's a pity that it seems that connection may be broken. I'll give it a couple more tries and see what I can do and maybe even make some enquiries to a service centre somewhere. It would have been great to use it when we have the airsh...

I have a sports action 2 card which says it works on the 9xi but doesn't seem to, the others have various other camera listings (some 9xi) and I cant seem to get them to work either. Oh well I guess it could be the camera, but apart from this it seems to work very well given the few rolls of film I'...

This is my first picture posted here and surprisingly not from one of my SLR cameras. This was taken standing on the pier at Southend on Sea, Essex, UK with my old Nokia N95 phone camera. 5mp so I think it falls within the remit of this thread. Its had to be resized a little to allow for posting lim...

Does anyone have any experience of the creative cards that slot into the Dynax cameras (specifically the 9xi)? I have several of these and was trying to make use of some of them, particulary the 'sports' card but it doesn't seem to register on the camera. tried following the instructions to the lett...

Thats good advice Birma, I feel a trip to the Jessops in town is in order tomorrow just for a look see.. Nice to know I can swap the Minolta lenses. You are right in that all the FD lenses are manual focus, I was realy pleasantly surprised when I first used the Dynax, eye start, autofocus... wonderf...

Oops I forgot to add that I have a Minolta AF 28-105mm xi lens.. Forgot it as it's what I'm using as a 'walking around lens'.

Doc, the lenses I have with my Minolta are: Minolta AF 35-80mm Minolta AF 28-80mm xi Minolta AF 80-200mm xi Minolta AF 100-300mm xi The lenses I have with the Canon(s) are numerous and range from 28mm to a 100-300mm zoom. They are also all Canon lenses FD fit. I'm sure I have a Tamron SP 500mm mirro...

Birma, I can't say I haven't considered getting a dlsr, pleased to know I can use the minolta lenses tho. Do you have a recommendation for a good dslr to have?

Thank you all for your warm welcome. It seems that the cameras my father left are all pretty much top of the range for their time, or there abouts and it's going to be interesting to see (as a complete novice) what I can get out of them. I agree with you Dusty about the ease of digital, and have see...

Hi, I'm new to this forum having found it whilst looking for information about my Minolta camera system. I found lots of camera eqipment in the loft while I was clearing it out after my father passed away. I've always loved photography but always used point and shoot compacts and a couple of digital...
