Minolta Maxxum

how can you tell the f stop on minolta lens, i have a maxxum zoom 70-210mm 1:4 (32) on the front of the lens, a
AF lens
70-210 on the side

It is a f/4 lens - that is what 1:4 stands for (just two ways of describing the same thing). The second number (32) stands for the smallest aperture available in this lens.

Hey, congrats on that one - that's the famous "Beercan"! I also own one - it is for sure one of the best amateur lens available (concerning not only Minolta AF system!) AF lacks some speed but the quality of the pictures pays double for that.

Minolta Maxxum camera commercial from 1986.

I recently got a minolta maxxum to borrow from a friend and I used the last of the film and it won't auto rewind how do i get the film out?

Three steps..
One, find the round indent on the bottom of the camera with a round release in the center, you push it in.
Do not open the back yet...

Look at the rewind knob.. see the arrow.. only go in that direction or you will unscrew the top..go slow until you feel the pressure go very light, often with a bit of a pop like noise as the film lets go of the take up spool.

Then, wind a few more times just to make sure the film is back in the film can.

Then and only then do you open the back of the camera.

If you are unsure take it to a one hour film developer what has ppl who use film cameras to do it for you.

Program Flash units have AF assist for autofocus in low light or total darkness, TTL metering in all modes, and an auto fill-flash program.
LCD data panels on top and in viewfinder for maximum information in each mode.
High-tech autofocusing for precise, instant sharpness with the full range of Minolta AF lenses.

Looking for a digital SLR. Since I have a Minolta SLR and a few lenses. I was wondering if I could use these lenses on a new digital SLR.
Minolta is now owned by Sony Corp. I found that minolta lenses with the A-mount will work with the digital SLR alpha series. I just dont know if my Maxxum 330 is an A-mount.

Your Maxxum 330 is an A-mount. The Maxxum 7000 of 1985 introduced the world to the first full-featured auto focus 35mm SLR and Minolta abandoned the SR mount for the A-mount on the Maxxum camera line. Your 330 is a descendant of the 7000.

Enjoy using your lenses on your new Sony DSLR.

Price: $19.95

I'm trying to learn how to light paint and i need to slow the shutter speed down on the camera. It's a Minolta Maxxum 4?
Can someone please help me.
PS its not digital

I've never handled the Maxxum 4, but if you use the link below, you can see or download a PDF file of the operators manual for your camera. I hope this helps.

I have a minolta xd-11 with lots of lenses. Will the lenses work with a minolta maxxum 400si?

No. Minolta abandoned the SR bayonet mount of the XD-11 for the A-mount of the auto focus Maxxum 7000 in 1985.
