I have an older Minolta camera, that has the changeable lenses and reel film.
I owned it years ago, and we were driving, and it was in its case, and like a mirror piece popped out. Though, now, I am looking at it, and I see a mirror piece. It turns on and everything, just needs film to see if it works.



How can I see if it will actually work, just get film, and get it developed?



Thanks.
 
Well, I am getting the film developed now, but the view finder was what was messed up, it made the pictures round. Now, I dont know if my pictures will come out like that, but is the view finder fixable?


I'll be getting the pictures in a half an hour.



Thanks.
 
Pictures came out great.

The view finder is a bit messed up, makes the picture look round. Camera guy said I should bring it in, and they said they can fix it.

I used to work for a camera shop, only do this is a last minute option! They will charge you an arm and a leg for something you could probably do yourself. Do some research and if you find out its unfixable, take it in. Did they give you a price quote?
 
Well the night pictures came out bad, the day picture came out fine.

Its really dark, static lines going vertically, looks wavy.


Can I find a digital camera with changeable lenses for a decent price? For getting back into photography? And can my lenses work with it?



Thanks.
