Just bought one for a friend then found my mom’s old camera in storage! Pretty baller specs & works with my Godox fuji kit via remote cable (custom mode 12-2 to turn off the preflash)
I have a plethora of Minolta AF cameras -- and yep, the 5 is nice and compact compared to many of the earlier bodies, and feature-rich. I was wondering about your shots -- Superia 400 shot at 100 -- was the film expired or fresh? The shots look great -- in fact with bolder reds and yellows than box-speed Fuji film. Was the film processed as 400? Thanks! Oh -- I am waiting on parts 2 and 3 of your Yashica AF camera series!!! I have the 200-AF, 230-AF and 300-AF -- the 300-AF (last model made) is a pretty mature AF camera for that era -- nothing fantastic, and missing a few things (like manual ISO!), but pretty responsive and, for me anyway, takes nice focused/exposed shots.
Minolta’s Maxxum/Dynax cameras are absolutely fantastic. Out of all the modern film SLRs, they are my favorite to shoot. The Superia 400 shots were developed at 100, so they were pulled two stops. In my opinion, the color shift that happens when you shoot it at 200, and then pull it by one stop is quite pleasing to me. The colors become more vibrant. The magenta cast gets tamed a little, but still makes an appearance, and lets you know it’s a Fuji film stock. I have been procrastinating about the follow up videos on the Yashica AF-200. Let’s see if I can make it happen this month. Thanks for your feedback, and thank you for watching.
