Caledon Ontario, Early March.

March started off like a lamb to borrow the old cliche, and things took a stranger turn, more on that later. I had one beautiful weekend of skiing which you will see in the next post, I want to separate the content. What amazed me was how fast winter packed it in, more ways than one, what you see was shot three weeks ago. The snow now is pretty much gone on the fields and front yards. We might get the annual Easter snow storm, or not, tha'ts living in Southern Ontario for you.

Now, Minolta X-700, I have growing respect for this camera, and it dusts the Canon AE-1P by virtue of using S76 batteries as opposed to the 4SR44 battery. The other thing, the X-700 doesn't disguise the fact it's a plastic shell camera, and that's ok, just don't drop it. From where I'm sitting this might be the ultimate travel SLR kit, because these cameras are cheap, in fact the two I own were gifted to me. The Minolta MD 28-85 zoom lens, is pretty much the ultimate travel glass, while not very fast, it's sharp as a tack. Sadly the Nikkor equivelent is nowhere near as good, shame. The big plus with this zoom lens is how it renders colour C-41, in this case Kodak Color Plus 200, oddly enough the perfert 1980s style film for a 1980s SLR.


Camera: Minolta X-700, Minolta MD 28-85 F3.5-4.5 lens.
Film: Kodak Color Plus 200,
