Message Board/Guestbook

Everytime when I see someone mentioning the XD-7, it was just being referred as the world's first multimode SLR while information on the great XK camera was so scarce that as if Minolta wants to shy away from others. Although I understand these two were great cameras of yesteryears but I don't totally write off them as a perfect used entry cameras.

I own an XD11 that I have had for over 22 years. The shutter speeds seem accurate based on no more scientific testing than running two rolls of Kodachrome 64 through the rig and visually inspecting the image quality. However, when releasing the shutter, no matter the speed, there seems to be a "minimal" delay, during which, when using a small aperture, it seems the lens almost completely stops down. Although my explanation of the incident about which I write may be suspect, I wonder if there is any "diagnoses" to offer. Thanks.
