That'is one of the best museums I've ever been to, absolutely brilliant place. And it's quite photographer friendly from what I remember.

The whole area is interesting, I loved 'Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump' as well, It's worth the drive from the Rockies.

The Rokkor 35-70 is a great walkabout lens on the A6000, you really don't need a bunch of primes when you're enjoying a day out like that.

Hi Lloyd,nice to here from you again.It was my first visit after living here for 40years and I was impressed with the Museum but found the Hoodoos and the Mud mounds a bit uninteresting but the coal mine and old equipment was fascinating. Smile

I love the T-Rex just inside the door to the main exhibit, I must go back with my A7r.
Another worthwhile visit is Frank Slide.

Very good exhibition & pictures, but sadly the T-Rex looks way unsharp for my eyes, no offence.
The 35-70/3.5 MD Zoom Minolta is a great lens, it also does excel on Fullframe....i own more than
one copy. Wink

When seeing it, I knew I will like the shot (have it as a larger print framed)
