Well, I got my hands on a semi-automatic (sounds like a gun doesn't it) Minolta, with 2 lenses and some filters, but.. it doesn't have a manual. I've been searching the web for one, but I am not completely sure which model the camera is, as all it says is Minolta 7000 AF and I can't find anything matching that. The camera is probably from the mid eighties. It's rather different from the manual SLR I have been using, currently I am just trying to figure out how the heck I can turn off all the automatics and juse use it manually, but it doesn't seem to be possible. It probably is, I'm just not pushing the right combination of buttons. Does anybody know anything about those Minoltas, or have any idea which model I am talking about? :-) Help/hints about where to look for a manual appreciated...
