Minolta 35 Model II

[815 Photo]

I have acquired a Minolta 35 Model II that is in great shape besides the fact that it needs a shutter curtain replacement
I am located in the Chicagoland area any recommendations of individuals or camera shops that offer this service would be
highly appreciated I would love to get this old Minolta up and running again I have a Minolta Model IIb that is such a fun camera to shoot
would love to ad the Model II to the collection .

Oleg at okvintagecamera can probably CLA and replace the curtains on it, but he is in Slovakia, and I am not sure how the tariff nonsense will impact getting your camera back as I got my Contax and Nicca back in August from him.

I am also trying to weigh my options for my Minolta 35 Model IIa too. Mine has good curtains, but is capping at 1/500.

This article I read mentioned Camerawerks in NY.

The Minolta-35 Model II camera I have was an unexpected discovery, purchased with several other cameras through an online auction.

There were two versions of the Minolta 35 II, and then there was the Minolta 35 IIb -- so it gets a little confusing. You check out MINMAN for details, but it's having some SSL access problems with some BROWSERS today:

MINMAN also has links for repair shops that deal with Minolta cameras. EARTH, FILM, & SUN has an extensive list as well as to which shops work with which Minolta cameras

Incognito window worked for me (Firefox).

Nice to know, but I still get a "SECURITY WARNING" when I just tried it that way. I'm using Firefox v143, but maybe you are using CHROME -- I'm not.

If you want to know about the Minolta-35 camera ... Paul Sokk's website.
I have replaced the curtains on many a Minolta-35, and it is not all that difficult if you want to try it yourself (note I do not offer camera restoration services myself, I just work on my own stuff)
