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. You may use this site for common support and sharing mutual knowledge or experiences among yourself. You may also use this message board as a guestbook for this great camera and its system. We hope this convenience provided can be of useful to you. Please don't mail me other than constructive suggestions or rectifying mistakes found in this site, thanking you.

Hi, I used to have a XG1 Minolta that I loved but it was stolen a coulple of years ago. The thing is that I still have different lenses for it that are like new. I was wondering if I deceided to buy a used camera which model by minolta except the XG1 I could use with my lenses and if there are more than one which would be the best camera ! Thanks, Connie

Hi there,
I just bought an XD11/7 but the little grey film take up spool is cracked in two (common problem I thinK?). How can I dismantle the wind lever mechanism? Will undoing the screw where the autowinder attaches on the camera base enable me to lift the spool up? Can anyone help? does anyone know what I am on about? Thankyou in Advance? Please help me before I damage the camera trying to fix it...

I wonder if anyone can tell me which Minolta or Third Party flash guns should be used with the XD7 in order to take advantage of all the features.

Please E-Mail.

Thanks for your time.

RE: XD11 lockup

I'm not sure if this relates to your problem, but I have had similar difficulties in the past with mine. Number 1, make sure that your batteries are in top condition. Mine was intermittent, and it seemed that working the shutter alot with no film helped free it up--it had been sitting around unused for years. I haven't had the problem since getting fresh batteries and working the shutter, then making sure I use the camera more often. I'm afraid I don't have any other suggestions other than a camera repairman.

Hi, I have an XD-11, and I am taking a beginners Photography class at UCF. I was wondering if you had come across any odd problems with these cameras. It won't allow me to take a picture unless the shutter speed is on B or O. at every other setting, it locks up. Do you think you can help me? Fleur Marlin
