Mike Gammill Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Greetings, all, and welcome to our new thread. Post all the images you like from any film camera. I'll start with some film that I processed and scanned yesterday. Camera was Minolta XE with lens noted in caption. Film was some cold-stored Panatomic-X (expired 1982) processed in Kodak HC110 dilution H. empty seating, MC Rokkor PG 50mm f 1.4 rain approaching (Louisville, MS) same lens roofing in progress, same lens Morning traffic (West Point) same lens I changed to the Celtic 50mm f 3.5 Macro for the remaining two photos. I have (from my parents' various papers) a window label and invoice from a car they bought in 1959, I remember the car although I wasn't old enough to drive. The car was purchased in Eupora, MS from my uncle's Chevrolet dealership. Window label for 1959 Impala Most expensive option was the Power Glide (automatic transmission). The extra power (Turbothrust engine) was only just over 80 USD. This was the W code (big block 348 cubit inch). Likely our car had the single four barrel carb. invoice (it even tells what my parents traded in and the trade-in allowance)- and yes, this car had tail fins Sorry I don't have a photo of the car, but I was only two years old when the car was purchased so I wasn't quite ready to handle a camera. That's all for now. Looking forward to seeing everyone's images. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"invoice (it even tells what my parents traded in and the trade-in allowance)- and yes, this car had tail fins" Didn't the 57 have the fins ??

You're an excellent photographer, and like I've said previously, I wish I could have bought a Minolta and some lenses from you and your family. I feel like a little of you is present, when I take a photo with my SRT-201. Look forward to seeing some scanned images from the maiden 2 rolls of film soon. Thanks for keeping the passion alive, and your excellent posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 At long last I've acquired a decent example of the Minolta AF 70-210mm f/4 lens, the famous "Beercan". This is the third one I've come by; the first had a sticky aperture and the second was very obviously decentered, but this one seems to live up to the lens's great reputation. So far I've managed only one outing with it before the winter weather set in, but the results are encouraging. The selection of images below were taken with the lens fitted to a Dynax/Apha 7, and the film was Ilford FP4 Plus developed in PMK Pyro.

Mike Gammill Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Great job with the Maxxum 70-210 f 4, Rick. It is a very sought after lens here in the USA (and maybe some other places as well). The technology for Maxxum AF improved some over the years, but my experience has been that the Maxxum camera body used makes more difference than the generation of the lens. The "beercan" on an Alpha/Dynax 7 (or Maxxum 7) autofocuses quickly and accurately. This combination should focus more rapidly than a late Maxxum lens on an early Maxxum body (like the 7000). I never owned a 70-210 f 4, but I often borrowed the display model from the family camera shop. My first Maxxum was the 5000 and for a tele zoom I had a Sigma 75-300 f 4-5.6. When I moved up to an 8000i, the Sigma's electronics would not operate so I sold it with the 5000 and bought a Maxxum 100-300 f 4.5-5.6 i series (which I still have). We never stocked the original 75-300, but I remember it performed well in a Modern Photography test. I have the "mini beercan) or 100-200 f 4.5 which I really like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I wasn't old enough to drive the 64' either. The first car I could drive was the 1969 Impala (pictured below in a 126 kodachrome slide). It had the 350 cid engine, 4 barrel carb, and dual exhaust. My dad and younger brother in front of '69. Instamatic 124 with Kodachrome-X 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
