Hi everyone I wonder if the rubber eye cup is still available for my XD 7. the one on my 700 Si will not fit. I have tried many places without luck so would be obliged for any suggestions. Many thanks Mibron.
Hi Arturb The service was first class and the XD 7 is like a new camera.This should last for Twenty Years but i am afraid it will outlast me. Mibron.
Hi Gordon As promised i checked with Photostore and they have not had any for over a year. Apparently Minolta started to run down on various parts two years prior to closing down. The eye piece on my old 5000 is identical but i don't have one on there either. Many thanks Mibron.
Hi Mojo 66 They didn't loose it i never had one in the first place and have been trying for ages. Mibron
Hi Arthurb The company advertises in A.P. but the information is as follows:- Camera Repair Workshop Unit 9 Wharfside Bletchley Milton Keynes MK2 2AZ Tel No:-01908 378 088 They did work for Minolta who was based in Milton Keynes and are KM specialists and approved repairers for Fuji. Give them a ring and explain your requiremnents they are very nice people.(I found them to be) Hope this helps Mibron.
Hello again Mibron - many thanks for the info. Now I must find time to get it done; sometime in the next few months though. Thanks again.
Mibron, Was browsing on E-bay and noted that there is an Eye cup for XD - XG etc On E-bay here until Tues 22 May HTH
Hi Ron Many thanks for your posting. I have put a bid in and hope i am lucky.I will keep you posted. Mibron.
Hi Ron Just to say that i did't have chance to check and increase my bid before closing time so lost out. Once again many thanks for posting the information. I think the chance of finding another is now getting rather remote, but,i live in hope. Mibron
Shame, however if you look for eye-cups for most of the Minolta manual cameras (they'll fit the XD) you'll get one soon enough, it's a bit of a shame but a few years back you could go into Jessops and pick items like this up quite easily, now it's a different matter
