I have a Maxxum 7000 body with all Minolta AF glass. I changed the batteries in my camera today (I should have done it sooner, the shutter lag is noticeably faster) and I was just testing it out, and once and awhile when I'd fire the shutter and have my lens at say f.2.8, it would suddenly make a clicking noise like a spring (this would happen immediately after I'd fire the shutter) and it looked like it was shooting at something really small, maybe f22 or something like that. This happened many times with both my 50mm and 28mm lenses I tested, so I'm pretty sure it is not the lenses, and it is the body. Probably 1/5 times it would happen. This could explain all the blank frames I'm getting back on my negatives. Anyone have a clue what this is? I have to shoot a gig tommorrow night and I don't exactly have a backup body right now.
If worst comes to worst I can easily find a new body before the show, but it would be nice to know what it is.
