Are there any Minolta 35mm film die-hards out in the world aside from me? I have a small collection of these babies and found through time and beaucoup rolls, that even having added simple digital Canons, I want to jump back into my true love. All of my "Minoltas are Minolta, not Konica Minolta, though I did use up a couple of Konicas "back-in-the-day". I am currently searching the web for the winder/drives. Any suggestions?

I started out with a Minolta SRT 101 and the 58mm f1.4 lens. Still have them too, never could part with it. I also used a Konica Auto S2 range finder camera; very sharp lens, was great for basketball games and still have that one too. No suggestions for the drives without knowing where you are or intend to go.

No clue on the drives, but I have a '70s era SRT-102 w/50 mm prime kit lens & a couple of add-on Vivitar lenses (28mm, & 200mm) for Minolta mount. If you want to expand your collection, PM me with an offer.

I have M-1 power winder. Name your price and it may be yours. I picked it up at a yard sale. The X-370n doesn't work but you can have it for parts if you want.

I have a Maxxum 5000i and an a7, they basically are unused but are always on my "to do" list.

I think I have a Minolta camera somewhere, but my first slr was a Konica. And I loved it. Did a good job for me. Probably Ebay is your easiest way to find drives for your Minoltas.

I have a couple of 202's and a couple of lenses, flash and a few other pieces. I still use them from time to time.

I have a Model II Focal plain shutter, shutter hasn't function for a really long time. Still have all lenses. I understand that the lens should work on certain new cameras.

I have a 201, a 340 and a CLE which was designed by Leica and uses Leica M mount lenses. I use the CLE quite often.

I'm looking for a Rokkor 58mm 1.4f MC lens , selling one ? Mine was dropped from 30 feet onto a concrete slab . It didn't survive !
The SRT-101 is one fine camera , and Kodak Ecktachrome returns in a few weeks 😃

Yes, I think you're right. I have a Sony A33 and my Minolta lens work on it. My Minolta is a XTsi Maxxum; I was gonna give it to a collector, but think I'll keep it a while.

one of my best friends back in the mid 80's was Lief Ericksenn. He was a photographer and writer for Popular Photography. He had a Minolta. I can't remember the model (it was top of the line). He took some stunning shots with it.
