daughter scores minolta srtmc-ii ...

[fish4570]

... with minolta 45mm/f2 lens for $25. dusty but otherwise in very good - near excellent - condition. not a cleaning mark on the front element. shutter speeds look perfect; stops down as it should. the plastic thumb nub is missing from the wind lever.
she is the reason my interest in film photography re-blossomed, especially b&w, because of her daughter - my granddaughter. my daughter has several photos i shot of her in infanthood with my old m3, 31 years ago, and wanted her daughter shot in b&w.
so now, she's going to try manual film work, getting away from her nikon zoom film slr.
hoping to get her to join this forum ...
