  • Viewfinder removed? When you take off the interchangeable viewfinder of your Minolta XM, the delicate focusing screen is completely exposed – this cover safely protects it from dust and scratches.
  • Stray light during long exposures? The viewfinder cover (eyepiece cap) prevents stray light from entering through the eyepiece during tripod shots, which could distort the exposure metering.
  • Lost original parts? Finding replacements for the rare original caps is difficult – here is the precisely fitting solution made from modern material.

Scope of delivery

  • Depending on selection:
  • 1x Focusing screen cover (body cap top)
  • 1x Viewfinder cover (eyepiece protector)
  • In the set additionally: 1x Minolta SR bayonet cap

Technical specifications

  • Material: PLA+ (technical plastic)
  • Colour: Black
  • Fit: Specially designed for the Minolta XM/XK system

Description

The Minolta XM (or XK) is known as a professional system camera for its modularity. But this very strength brings risks: as soon as you remove the viewfinder to change it or store the camera, the fine focusing screen lies unprotected and open. Our focusing screen cover securely clicks into place instead of the viewfinder and protects the inside of the camera.

The viewfinder cover acts as a classic eyepiece cap. Especially during long exposures on a tripod, when you do not have your eye at the viewfinder, stray light entering can disturb the sensitive exposure metering of the XM. This clip provides a remedy.

Compatibility

Fits the following cameras and viewfinder systems:

  • Minolta XM
  • Minolta XK
  • Minolta XM Motor
  • Minolta XK Motor
