Here is a video showing how to load and unload film in a Pentax 67, 6×7 medium format camera.

To purchase a Pentax 67 or accessories, visit the Pentax 67 resource page

I found a very nice photography site, www.suaudeau.eu. The only stumbling point for me is that it’s in French. My knowledge of French is not so good. Wait a minute. Don’t leave yet. Google makes it easy to see a translated copy of a site.

The translated www.suaudeau.eu home page.

There is some really excellent content here, such as this guide to Minolta cameras

That page has individual pages for particular Minolta models. It has history of Minolta SLR and rangefinder cameras. It also has repair tips, lens disassembly instructions, and finder changing instructions for the SRT 101.

The histories are excellent. I like the Minolta Manual SLR history.

Check out these Camera, Shutter and Flash Service Manuals
There are service or user manuals for Leica 2M, Leica 3f, Minolta Himatic 7Sii, Minolta XD-11, Minolta X-700, Minolta X300, Minolta X500, Minolta XE, Minolta 360XP, Minolta SRT 101, Nikon F3, Compur, Pentax K1000, Pentax Spotmatic, Pentax Spotmatic II, Canon EF, Canon EOS 30, Canon EOS 500, Canon F1, Canon Canonet GIII QL 17, Obturateur Prontor 1, Obturateur Prontor 2, Olympus XA, Yashica D, Yashica Mat 124 G, Yashica Electro 35
The caveat is that not all of the manuals have English translations in them.

Along with the manuals, there is a very nice Repair page

This site is well worth checking out, especially for the service manuals and repair section. If you’re a Minolta person especially, there is some great stuff here. Highly recommended.

Please note that if google comes back and says a page is too big to translate, such as the manuals, then just view the page without the translator. Most of the links I provided are for the translations by google.

As I’ve mentioned in the past, I want to make sure that I track good camera repair people so I list them here.

I have seen many posts referring to the repairs made by John Titterington on Minolta cameras. Though he apparently repairs several brands.

I don’t know him. I haven’t used him, but I haven’t seen anything negative about him. And most importantly, he restores Minolta cameras.

So, if you need a repair to a camera, you might check him out.

Also, here is a link to his auctions of restored cameras on ebay. He usually has some nice looking cameras there.

John Titterington’s Cameras on Ebay

Here’s a copy of his blurb on ebay:

John Titterington has been repairing and selling fine photographic equipment in the Kansas City area since 1976. He specializes in refurbishing older Canon, Minolta, Nikon, Olympus and Pentax single lens reflex cameras.
