Minolta 7SII First Roll

This is a sweet little camera. Paint it black and it'd be nearly perfect.
Kodak 400UC rated at 320 ISO.

It really is an amazing camera. No need to paint it black...just get one that already is :).

BTW...join the Himatic pool on flickr (http://www.flickr.com/groups/himatic/).

Great stuff and very nice Mini :)

Nice camera, it was the first camera I ever used (a black one). That must explain the continued interest in RFs.

I'm certainly pleased.
I've been considering a 40mm for my R3A (giving up the 50 and 35) so running around with this camera is a way of trying out that FL.
I was afraid I'd miss that little bit more you FOV with the 35mm, but I think it was actually pretty comfortable.
So, I can now go buy a CV40mm...or 3 more Himatics.

Steve,

Excellent photos, thanks for letting us have a look-see! Where you using any filters for the B & W images? What film were you using for the color shot? Whatever it was it seems to have pretty natural colors!

Regards,
Tom

Thanks Tom,

UV filter only. Of course, converting to black in white in photoshop I emphasized the red channel, effectively adding a red filter.
For color, I had to desaturate the yellow channel a bit. 400UC is a bit oversaturated for my tastes.

How much for the Mini Cooper? Oh, sorry, thought this was the classifeds. Have got to get a battery for my Viv 35ES to compare to your Minlota. I would be very pleased with results like yours.
