Thanks Bret!

Recently I found there (1) my old camera

and (2) an ingenious method of converting 35mm slides to images..

If you use DownLoaderHelper plugin in Firefox you can download
them as .flv files. Make sure you delete the browser soon after
the download begins, else your download speed will be halved!
http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/ is an excellent .flv player, imo,
recommended recently by a good friend.
Cheers,

Bret has been a great inspiration and influence on me as well. He has
done A LOT for me.
Do you only use film? Your Minolta is an old rangefinder camera. I
have a Canon Canonet QL17 Glll. I use it occasionally but have gone
digital. You may be interested in http://www.rangefinderforum.com/ or

is that "as well" to mean you like them "also"? ;-))) & no-- that "also"
is not meant to mean I like them in any nefarious way...

Thanks for the links Helen. We also have a Canon 'Powershot A95'
that we point and shoot and upload them to the computer. I didn't
realise that older camers were still being used - it's like greeting an
old friend! - but the battery is dead. From Manual: "Mallory RM-625R,
Eveready E625 or G.E. No. 625 type." Have to find today's equivalents.

I'm not sure if they make those old batteries anymore, due to the
Mercury in them. You may have to have your camera converted to accept
the 625A battery which are on ebay all the time. If you do have your
camera converted, don't just let anyone do it for you. Make sure he's
a reputable and experienced guy. How is the light seals on the back
door? Do they need replacing? Over the years that foam they used
back then gets sticky and deteriorates and has to be replaced. Good
luck Alan!

Do some research first. I found a lot of info about your Minolta on
rangefinder forum. (That's a forum I don't frequent but you may want
to). Here is one entry about it:
"I use a PX 625 cell in mine. I've read that others will work,
however, I prefer to use the wein cell. I get mine from Vintage
Batteries.com
Love my 7s, takes great shots."
Just Google the cameras name and voila.....lots of info.

Thanks again, Helen.
I've just realised that it's not a '7s' but simply a '7'. I bought in a
store in Sappora (Hokkaido) Japan, in the early 60's and was
manufactured for the home market (even then, some spoke very
good English). It has a lovely, robust, leather case. The Pbase
page says the '7s' was manufactured in 1966.
Maybe I should submit its 'specs' to Pbase, as this is one model
they don't have :-) I'll get it working again, first.
