Minolta X-700 | Maxxmum 7000 | Dynax 7000i

Each of these three featured Minolta SLR camera models represent an era of its own to lead and has great influence over the entire photographic community.

My X-700's meter lights up but the shutter will not fire when i press the button all the way down. The batteries are brand new. Very very occaisionally if i set the self timer, it will count down and the shutter will fire ok, but otherwise the countdown won't even initiate. This seems to be a common problem. I can't find any solutions on the net. If anyone can help, i'd be most grateful, thankyou. Colin Pitman

I have a Minolta Dynax 7000i with a 35 - 80 mm zoom lens. Please advise if there is a larger zoom lens for this camera, say around 200 mm? What is the model number and where might I purchase one? Thanks for your assistance

I have a Maxxum 7000 I bought new in 1985. It has the offset "X"s on the front of the camera. Still seems to work perfectly. I just never sent it in for the exchange. Is this camera worth anything?

I have a X-700 and can't get the film to advance with the lever, and I can't push the button to take a picture. Sounds like several people have this problem. The solution? I have the same problem as above, what is the fix.
