Minolta X-370 Light Baffle Replacement. The first photo shows what happens when you try to insert a Minolta lens upside down (180 degrees off) on a Minolta X series camera. The diaphragm lever contacts the light baffle and does damage. The second photo shows the new light baffle (old one below it) ready to be installed. Also had to replace the diaphragm ring on the body as the contact brush was damaged from a previous attempted repair.
