it's here!
looks pretty good for it's age!!
i have loaded the retro 5 with the body plus 58 and added the 28 as well.
soon, maybe next week i'll have the 35 and 135 to use too!!

i'm looking forward to the 35! as my walk around lens...

the xd11 is so much heavier than what i am currently used to!

also in the mail today was my new burgundy lance strap with the quick connect clips...i love that burgundy colour!!! it just seemed appropriate to hook the strap and the minolta together and it looks sweet.

when the other lenses show i will do a family portrait to post here!

See other thread about cheap SLRs. $30 for a Contax 167MT from KEH, listed as BGN, arrived looking nearly mint.

why are the minolta 85s so pricey?
not super expensive but not cheap either...
