Grey Studies Leaves
I have a handful of cameras now. I know I should list them all and update my “about” page with them but I’m lazy. One of my favorites is the Olympus XA for the simple reason that it’s so small & compact that I can take it anywhere. It’s a rangefinder with an above par lens. I also have the Oly XA4 with a 28mm wide angle lens and the Oly XA2 on the way. All of them are compact with the XA as the only true rangefinder. I love these old cameras. Speaking of old cameras, Pop had an old Minolta 110 Zoom SLR that I now have. I must say it’s an old looking thing. I mistakenly told Pop that the 110 film was hard to come by. That isn’t the case when I did a quick Google on it. Turns out that the film is available at your local Walgreens. I happen to swing by a Walgreens today and bought a roll. We’ll see how it turns out with this camera. Did I say how much I love old cameras now?
Did you ever go and get some 126 film developed in the city?

John October 31st, 2006 at 7:32 pmDo you know what the Minolta 110 zoom SLR originally sold for? I have been trying to find this info for some time with no luck. Strangly, reviewers will write for pages about a camera and never once mention the MSRP. Very aggrivating for researchers of old cameras. If you happen to know the cost of that camera could you send me an e-mail at carterrodger@hotmail.com Thanks.
