Put the Konica 50mm on the Nex 3 and took a few test shots. Since Howard must be busy, here goes.<div></div>

Although we were not hit by the snowfall landing in the east, there is still some laying about. The two black dots on the right are crows.<div></div>

Lastly, Maggie was watching videos on the chromebook using earphones to shut out distractions.<div></div>

<p>Thanks, Randy, for kicking things off. That's a lovely photo of Maggie!</p>

<p>I was in London today, visiting the British Museum. Sadly there is no photography allowed in The Celts exhibition I went to see, but the building is as great as ever.</p>

<p>^ The Great Court roof is a gift for wide angle lenses</p>

<p>Greetings Gentlemen!<br /> Some pictures highlighting my other passion - collecting and repairing older analog stereo equipment. All the following pictures were taken using my trusty Sony A300 DSLR mounted with a Sony DT f2.8 30mm Macro SAM lens.<br>

<br /> <img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/768/23619367511_4337f7a0ef_z.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="301" /><br /> <strong>Marrantz 2216B Stereo Receiver with newly installed LED dial lights </strong><br /> <br /> <strong><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5703/22941636563_0e348fa5b0_z.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="428" /></strong><br /> <strong>Newly acquired and refurbished Nakamichi 600 II 2 head cassette deck with optional wooden case </strong><br /> <br /> <strong><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5641/23206320161_00c9e7415d_z.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="479" /></strong><br /> <strong>Refurbished Akai 1800D-SS 4 Channel Reel to Reel</strong><br>

<br /> These are some of the last pictures with my A300 as it is winging it's way to Chicago to a new owner. A bitter sweet sacrifice to help fund my latest acquisition, a Nikon D7100.</p>

<p>Mike :D</p>

<p>Some serious gear there, Mike. Good luck with the new camera - it'll be a shame not to have your photos in this forum, unless you keep the film flame alive, of course!</p>

<p>Thanks Howard!<br>

I have kept the A200, which is the wife's camera. Same 10.2 CCD sensor just doesn't have live view or the flip out screen. I have kept the Minolta 50mm f1.7, the Minolta 35-70mm f4 zoom, the 70-210mm f3.5-4.5 zoom lenses along with the A200's kit lens. On the film front, I'm thinking about selling the Maxxum 9000 and accessories but keeping the Maxxum 9xi. </p>

<p>I won't be leaving the Sony/Minolta forum completely but I will be sharing my time between here and the Nikon forum. I also plan on purchasing either a Nikon F100, F5 or possibly a F4S to continue my film insanity in the Nikon forum too!</p>

<p>So, I still plan on bothering you guys too! See you next week!</p>

<p>Mike :D</p>
