I'm happy with my ebay triggers, work fine up to 1/160 when i get a black bar at the top (firing late) with my a200 and 24 year old Minolta 2800af

Lol, can afford it ;)

Checked with multimeter, fully charged :(

Dunno, depends who they pay to fix the security, could be a few days, but probably not until after Christmas... They'll get in trouble for loosing people data :( Mind you, its impossible to build a completely cracker proof system if its connected to the web! Bloody camera wont turn on :(

Hi all, Ive recently got a Minolta X300s and am trying to get it to work, batteries are fully charged, it has a lens on but nothing happens when the on switch is switch, does anyone know if there is anything i have to do to make it work (put film in etc)? Many thanks, Angus

Indeed :D PFKs offline anyway ATM, and look like it will be for a wile, apparently a cracker got in and nicked everyone's password and email :( Got a 50mm F1.7 lens, and found some Jessops diamond 2 everyday 400 film in a draw :D

Many thanks :D

Hi all, Does anyone know of any good sites for panoramic prints, of about 33in x 10in or the same ratio? The closed ive found is 45 x 20 (fine size wise :)) but that was only avilible on canvas, for £100 :( Many thanks, Angus

Thanks all :) Ive got a minolta flash and trigger too that i used for my sony (different hotshoe to the X300, i know), so i think ill try the Ektar 100 :)

Hi all, I've got my self a Minolta x300 with a 50mm F1.7 lens, but am a bit of a loss what film to use :shrug: I'm 14, so when i got interested in photography, film was gone in our house.... So, any recommendations? At first at least ill be getting it developed by someone else :)

I went for the X300 - £12 :D

Grrrrrrrrrrr, just missed a X500 with 6 lenses, a flash and a teleconvertor for £25 :(

Lol, i like the look of the old Minoltas though :)

Looks like your right, you can set it manually but no meter..... Looks like its the X300 :D

Or is an X300 worth the extra £10?
