Way back when at Christmas (tough to believe a month has passed already), my Mom gave me an old Minolta Maxxum 5000, which is a really fun camera. Fast, accurate, awesome glass, user-friendly....and, well, like I say, just really fun. But this got me to thinking about all my other film cameras which, for the most part just sit on shelves or in bags, taking the back seat to the more economical digital cameras. This Minolta, though, has renewed my interest in film (not that it ever died, it was just laying there dormant). Long story short: thanks, Mom. I love the camera. And thanks for reminding me where I came from in the first place.
Now all I have to do is come up with an answer to Becki's first question when I tell her (in all my excitement) that I have the old film cameras working again: "So, what? Now you are going to start buying all sorts of film again?". Suggestions and solutions to my conundrum are welcome.......
