I don’t have any experience with Minoltas, but wholeheartedly agree with Max
about the M3. Shooting an M3 with a 50mm lens is a delight. You can even shoot
with both eyes open.

Very highly recommend either a Leica M3 with its .92x viewfinder, or a Minolta
SLR with nearly the same across many models — with a 40 or 50mm lens you get a
1 to 1 visual, so it’s easy to “see” what the photo will turn out to be, which
is great for feedback on framing. :-)

The comment in the email about carbon forks was interesting. I hate those
stupid things.

These grips are fantastic, and they've been unavailable for almost a year

appears that at least for the moment they are again available from

I had a Nikon EM. It was so simple and uninspiring.
I have several Minoltas, pre auto-focus era. I love them. I think some of
the lenses are great. My favorite isn't the "best" lens but it has the most
character: the 58mm 1:1.2 Rokkor. I think vintage Minoltas are are a great
deal, and techs still
Ha. Yeah. $12 may be overpriced for the EM. That was the most
returned/repaired model we sold.

Way back when, I worked in a retail camera shop. We sold a bunch of
different lines of cameras. When stuff went to electronic shutters, many
got increasingly unreliable.
Had a series of Olympus OM1/OM1n cameras. Agree with John's observation.
Those things were bombproof, reliable, small and

Thanks, Isaac. We're diggin' *all* the pix you get.
The XA is a great camera for the reasons you mention. I also like the XA2,
which doesn't require focusing and produces very fine photos, too.
Speaking of photos, I need to get a better one of your contest poster on
our humble web site.
Great pictures and a nice report. The pump storage between the double top tubes
just looks so right. It makes me wish I was taller so I could ride one of those
double tubed frames!
