Minolta 5d

The pic shows the Konica Minolta 5d with the 50mm 1.4 stuck on it. This camera belongs to Adam. I bought it for him, and the life of me, I can't understand why I reach out for this camera instead of my 7d.

I just love the ergonomics. Together with the short prime lens, it feels good! Anyway, the pic is taken using my KM 7D and a 28mm f2.8. The one thing that has kept from jumping ship to another system is the intensity of the colour of Minolta lenses. Something that even the newer Sony lenses seems to have missed.

I got the camera used from somebody who stayed in Jurong West. $500 bucks! Inclusive of a 18mm-70mm kits lens. At that time it was a steal. Now, its damn expensive since a brand new alpha dslr can be had for $800 bucks!

Slim.
