European Camera of the Year 1981

A bit of New Year cleaning revealed that my Minolta X700 was gathering dust under the bed.

I had a lot of fun with this camera and it feels weighty, very solid and well built in comparison with the blip machine.

I don't use it but am loathe to e-bay it. What to do, eh?

It was indeed European Camera of the Year in 1981 and was the last of Minolta's manual focus models. More here!

New Years' Day has been set to low heat and we've done very little. New Years' Eve was set to Gas Mark quite high and much bubbly imbibed.

Hope everyone is having a great New Year.
