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. Unlike the two great Minolta cameras of yesteryears in the XK/XM/X1 and the XD-7, these newer series of Minolta classic served a different segment of users.

Leather cases. Please contact me if you are in need of any Minolta equipment. I may have it! Thanks

I was given the excellent Maxxum 7000 with two extra zoom lenses. I have used many good cameras over the years, but this is a fascinating one, and I love it. I have read the manual I found online, but I am confused about one thing.

Nothing is written about the two shutter release buttons, and I can't quite figure them out.

I am guessing the back one is for the AF mode, as when I hold it half way down, it does focus, and then when pressed all the way down, takes the picture.

So, what is the front button for? Just for Manual mode? In that mode, both still seem to work.

What's up?

I have a 7000i that I bought on ebay. there is a problem with the winding mechanism, in that it winds too many frames forward at once and sometimes just winds straight to the end (on my last film I only got 1 photo).

any ideas on how to fix. I took it to a camera repair shop and they said it would be cheaper to buy a new one than get if fixed. I think I might have a go at some DIY, but don't know where to start.

thanks for your help
