Minolta A2 and Caffenol and MO Botanical Gardens

This is the last variant of the model, dating to 1958. It is very well constructed, with precision clockwork shutter from 1 second to 1/400, circular blades, and easy to see viewfinder with bright frame, parallax correction, and center spot focusing.

I loaded a roll of slightly out of date Kodak 400, which I rated @ ASA 200, and made a late day visit to the Missouri Botanical Garden. A half roll of film was exposed.

The second half was exposed here at home, indoors and out.

All images were available light and hand held.
I found the shutter remarkably smooth and quiet.
We are changing over from summer to fall.

Filmstrip was developed by me in Caffenol, using safe household ingredients for the "chemistry."
Caffenol renders all films in monotone. I added the sepia tone in software.
