11/08/11: Back In The Day "Only From The Mind Of Minolta"

Today's blog posting takes a ride in the time machine back to 1985 and
my first serious camera, the Minolta X-700, with vintage photos and memories.

Before I became the gearhead you know today, this was my one and
only camera (ok, I had a Vivitar point and shoot too!) from 1985 to 1994.
Nine years with only two cameras...how's that for being a gear head? :-)

Relive the memories on my blog almightycamera.com.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Got to love this one, it's manual focus lenes are the ones I go for on my MTF or FT rigs. Love the 85 1.7 with it's smokey soft quality. Thanks so much for the Blog. BV.
