Muse: In the "ole days" Konica and Minolta were fierce foes rivals.
I had the old SRT-303 film camera :nod:

Its one of their dynamax 5D models

Taken in my diy lightbox thats just some printer paper, a cardboard box and a 15 dollar kmart camping light.


This is how i got it so theres no body covers or any lens cap's

From here it looks like it takes Sony and Minolta Alpha mount lenses:

I'd say that you're limited to about 2GB max for the CF cards, though.

Otherwise, it's got a CCD in a frame that you might attach to some other
optical devices. It's also only got USB 1:( so you'd want to NOT connect
by cable to the computer for downloading.

PS: Did I say I managed to get a mint Minolta SRT-303 with their crispest
50/1.7 lens? :cool:

Thanks i might just sell it on so i can fund my next lens for my canon or use its cash for car savings. I dont need 2 camera's for the small amout of photos i get done right now thanks to the rain.

There is a high chance it might no longer work. Circuit boards dry out over time, things like capacitors etc eventually become brittle.

You may find when you get a battery, nothing works.
