General Comments

My wife gave me my Minolta X-700 set up for Christmas in 1986 figuring it might be a hobby I'd enjoy. Although it has always given great results the guy behind the lens didn't. It sat in the case much of the time in the late 90's. I went digital in the '99 and recently was given a project allowing for "only 35mm film".

This X-700 is just as great a camera as it was back in '86 but thanks to digital I believe I have gotten better. I'll be taking my Minolta along with my digital from now on.

I had seriously thought of selling it ... I am very glad I didn't!
