MINOLTA - Minolta Service Bulletins
by MINOLTACollection of Minolta technical service notes from the Photographic Division, issued in December 1983. This technical bulletin (T:001) presents comprehensive exposure correction factors for various combinations of focusing screens and Minolta MD lenses when used with AE/AE-S finders and XK/XK motor systems. The core content features an extensive compensation table systematically organized by lens category—fisheye, wide-angle, standard, telephoto, and zoom lenses—with precise specifications for each optical model. Data encompasses metering methods (full-aperture and stop-down modes), AP adjustment factors, and C1, C2, C3 compensation values across different focusing screens. The bulletin provides clear usage instructions for consulting the tables, with special notations for macro-equipped lenses and focal-length dependent variations. A supplementary section includes detailed power consumption charts for Minolta products, presenting ampere-hour measurements under various operating conditions. Essential reference material for service technicians and advanced users requiring accurate correction data for optimal camera performance and proper exposure compensation implementation.
