Din cutia cu jucării de la domnul Andrei, astăzi m-am dat cu prima mea Minolta. Dynax. 5 (SN 34313222). Cu Sigma 18-35mm 1:3,5-4,5 (SN 1019766). Ce îmi place de mor e auto-focusul care se activează cînd strîngi camera în mînă, sau cînd o pui la ochi. Ce mă oftică cel mai mult e că autofocusul și măsurarea are mai multe puncte decît Fuji S3pro 😐
O frumusețe de cameră!
I-am băgat un film care e posibil să fie pizdit, că mi-a venit la metru. La metri, mai bine zis. Defunctul Kodalith (să vedem ce iese, dacă iese).
