My Minolta Maxxum 450si takes that same 2CR5 battery - a little inconvenient, but not a deal breaker.

Une touche, une fonction voilà pourquoi j'avais choisi le minolta 600SI à l'époque! Puis le lui ai ajouté un grip vertical et un flash 5400HSS; confortable efficace, fiable, précis. Je l'ai utilisé pratiquement que en portrait/mode, essentiellement avec un zoom Sigma 28-105mm f 2.8/4.0. Un régal!

Oui ! Les commandes du 600si me font revenir et le flash 5400 HSS est un excellent outil ! J'en utilise un aussi, mais principalement sur mon Maxxum 9 ! Merci d'avoir regardé 🍻

Minolta Auto Focus cameras are cool. I bought a 500si for my Grandson and he loves it

Great review! Thanks. I have a Maxxum a7 with the VC-7 grip. Outstanding rig. Maybe my favorite camera. Also have a good 'ol 400si which I find really fun to shoot with. Cheers!

Nice! I like how you tell the a story in the beginning, explain the camera, shoot some frames and conclude the experience and what to look out for on the camera! Keep up the good work!

Love the Duct tape. If I ever get one of these, I'll try and design a 3D printed grip. The grip panel I had printed for the Maxxum 7000 looks fantastic on it.

I totally forgot about the 3D printing option. Might have to talk to my Pastor about designing one! Thanks for the idea and for watching 🍻

Thanks for the review of 600si. There are not many videos on YT covering this camera. Hopefully to see more reviews of Minolta cameras in the future. I have my eyes on 800si but, right now I'm having plenty of fun with X570. Just struggling a bit with the manual focusing :D

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, there aren't that many videos covering Minolta AF cameras; enjoy the X570, and the 800si is a great piece of kit. Thanks for watching 🍻

The 600si is great from a control perspective that's certain. Generally I prefer the Maxxum 5 or 70 for their compactness but the 600si really has better handling. Do you think the 50mm f1.4 is worth three times as much as the 50mm f1.7? I've been tempted to replace my 50mm f1.7 with an f1.4 at times but I just don't see the extra half stop being worth the extra money and I don't use the 1.7 wide open very often anyway. Another general zoom to consider might be the 24-85 from the mid 1990's, cheaper than the 24-105 on the used market.

The 70 is a great choice and camera! But I agree, I do find myself reaching for the 600si more. As for the lens, I certainly did not pay three times the price which is why I got it and honestly the difference is minimal, only a bit better sharpness wide open. Thanks for watching 🍻

Nice video. I may invest in one but I have a Minolta Maxxum 9000. I just bought a 3 pack Panasonic brand 2cr5 batteries for $20 American on amazon. .
@AlexLuyckxPhotoАй бұрын
@@thevoiceman6192 I would love to review a 9000! But don’t want to own one! Keep the 600si in mind if your 9000 kicks it! Thanks for watching 🍻
