Minolta A2 and Caffenol

This camera was produced in Japan in 1958. I last used it in 1995 and wanted to bring it out of retirement. Surprisingly after all these years, everything worked perfectly. When I first acquired it and cleaned it up I had it disassembled and discovered that the internal shutter assembly was made by Citizen. And indeed, it runs like a fine watch.

This series was shot on Fuji 200 color film, rated at ASA 50.
Developing was with my recipe for Caffenol, using only safe household ingredients. This process renders all film types as monochrome. I add the color tint in software.

It was a beautiful Spring day at the Museum of Transportation.
