ELECTRONICS MAVENS: I do need your help concerning Minolta XG7

[leicarfcam]

These cameras were made in the 70's, and 80's. They are in need of a CLA. This is the usual behavior when service is needed. The electrical contacts also get dirty and cause erratic readings etc..

Find a repair shop and explain what the camera is doing.....

In the past year I have seen two Nikon FE bodies whose shutter fired at only one speed: instantaneous. The meter worked fine but the timing chip was done and dead. So it happens with revered Nikon also. Given a choice, I'll take an FM any day. - David Lyga

I've got an FE that doesn't work in auto And the meter needle doesn't move.......But the shutter works properly in Manual. =)
