Minolta Maxxum 7xi

[honoryourlife]

Hello, I am new to this forum but not really new to photography. Just film photography. I have just recently recieved a film camera from my father. It is a Minolta Maxxum 7xi.

It came with a Minolta Zoomxi 0.51m/1.6-3.3ft lense (I think's it's an all-purpose?) (AF 28-105), a Minolta Zoomxi 1.5/4.9ft Macro Lense (AF 100-300), a Minolta Maxxum 5400xi Flash, a Hoya 55mm Skylight (1B), a Toko 62mm Cross Screen, and a Hoya 62mm Skylight (1B).

My question is what is what? And how do I use them? Another question is where can I find info on my camera and it's components?

Thank you, sorry for the newbie questions.

-Ryan,

Welcome to the Forum Ryan. Books can, and have been written to answer these questions. They are very broad in scope, and I would say the best thing to do is try to do a bit of research yourself. " Google" is your friend. You will find plenty of info on your topics to keep you busy for a while. When your questions become a little more pointed, bring 'em on..... Unless of course someone wants to have a go at your questions now.
