From Pentax's line of DSLR cameras, this camera is a versatile workhorse that remains a viable tool despite being outclassed by modern models both in features and sensor abilty.

review: Minolta XD / XD-11
2008-11-14 00:16:43

The Minolta XD was perhaps Minolta's finest hour as a manufacturer. This is a camera that is a joy to use, and yields remarkable results.

My review of the Olympus 35DC, an excellent little rangefinder that produces great work (and now costs a song!).

review: Minolta X-700 camera
2008-10-28 09:03:46

collections
2008-09-18 09:28:45
