Hi
I have a lens system Minolta zoom 105i.
I want to use the lens at something.
I do not know the lens terminals.
Can anyone help me identify the terminals?
An electrical connection scheme as well.
Any help would be very welcome.

Forum Guidelines from the Header Page
The Classic Camera Repair Forum is a get together for people who enjoy tinkering with old mechanical cameras, those no longer repaired by mainstream repair shops. Cameras from the 1970's and earlier, like the classic 30's thru 50's Retina style folders, 60's viewfinders and rangefinders and up to the great 70's SLR's. This is a hobbyist forum for tinkerers and collectors to meet and share experiences.
This forum is moderated. Inappropriate and irrelevant posts are removed without notification. Please pay the highest respect to this forum as well as others. PLEASE DO NOT POST...questions unrelated to repair of cameras from the above mentioned camera eras; questions about modern P&S's (point and shoot), modern automatic cameras (if it's auto focus it's modern!); commercial-related material; and messages for instruction or repair/service manuals (see here for manuals). ESPECIALLY DO NOT POST questions about digital cameras. |

What a crass reply. What harm is there someone asking a question about a camera that doesn't quite fit your personal interest. And, are you a moderator? If you are, deal with such posts appropriately by PMing the poster and then deleting the post. Not hanging him out to dry publicly. But, as you clearly aren't a moderator, if you have a problem, report it. Don't abuse other users.
I think your post is as inappropriate as you are making out the OP's is and as such, I'm reporting it to a moderator. |

Monopix, I didn't make up the rules, I just have to live with them like everybody else. And seeing as no one was coming forward with any help to folks like Tamas, I was just pointing out the facts without getting in his face, unlike your post.
I too see no harm in helping with cameras that may be out of bounds with the Forum Rules, but what I posted was better than going behind doors so to speak, getting the post removed, and alienating a new forum member. And it may also serve as a reminder to anyone else that signs on to the forum what the parameters are.
With the cameras we use aging along with us, maybe it is time for the members to come to a consensus on what direction the forum should take, and should the definition of "Classic" be renewed.

In all fairness, the intent, through the wording from Br1078lum is clear enough and if you check previous posts, it is consistent with other such requests.
I don't think Tamas took is negatively and I'm sure that it was taken in the spirit that was meant.
By putting a standard disclosure as presented by Br1078lum, it Keeps the forum pure and no one is offended.
As a side note, I'm not sure calling out Br1078lum in front of other members is a good idea either.
Lets keep the forum professional so that it can continue to be a great resource.

Well I really don't think you could have been any less 'in his face' and as for not alienating him - you couldn't have alienated him any more if you had tried. Do you really think he's coming back? You have some very strange views on life. Maybe you live on a different planet to me. Your response is unbelievable. If your first response was crass, which it was, this one is off the clock.
And should you decide to give any more 'reminders' to the members, give me fair warning will you so I make sure I skip that thread because I really don't need you to remind me of anything. |

Jeez, there are some prissy princesses around here. Not the first time I've tried to be tolerant of people posting outside the rules, and actually helping them where I could, and then getting lambasted for doing so. So I've decided I don't need the aggravation any more. I'm outta here... |

Hi Monopix, I did not post the initial response to Tamas's inquiry, rather I only defended it.
Please read my response carefully,
all the best |

In my mind ,Do not big problem.
1)Minolta Stop production
2)Riva P&S camera at least 10~20 year which old enough.
3) We should encourage DiY & share their experience |

I see that I started a discussion.
The machine is old and so I posted the question.
I disassembled the lens and I repaired iris locked.
Lens will be used in a video microscope.

That's a very interesting lash-up, Tamas. And I hope I didn't offend you by pointing out the forum rules. I asked Margaret if we could expand the rules a bit to include more types of cameras. Haven't heard from her yet.

Does not belong to repair cameras but sometimes we are curious how to measure the negative lens focal length.
The link below shows a simple method of measurement:
