Thanks, I need one for my Super A, and ideally for my MX although it's not as bad. They're both unusual dimensions though.

I watched Minamata earlier this evening. Not a particularly good or coherent film IMO but it's good for camera spotting and Minoltas.

Not heard of that one, where did you watch it? The lens arrived yesterday by the way, thanks. I might have a got at stripping it down and see if I can clean it up. It's got fungus in the same place mine has.

Movie is all about Eugene Smith's photo investigation of mercury poisoning in a Japanese fishing village and how it led to his signature photo, taken on an SRT101 I think. https://americanart.si.edu/artwork/t...ta-japan-22604 (sent you a pm)
Glad the lens arrived. Give it a go before you try taking it apart. It seemed fairly sharp when I used it and the film images came out OK.

Ah, I've seen photo before. I'll give it a whirl, not sure when a Minolta will be up for shooting again, got many many cameras in the queue!

I just got back from visiting my mother, and she had found this. Her brother exchanged it with a school friend for a piece of my grandmother's fruit cake in the late 40s. It used to work, as she also had a tiny square print from it.

Judging by eBay, it's not exactly rare, but fascinating. I can't imagine film small enough to load into it.

I actually have a roll of film for that. I'll dig it out when I get home.

Thanks. That's tiny!

Certainly is!

Does anyone have the Olympus 75-150mm f4 lens? How does it perform?
