Thanks to all who viewed, responded to my Minolta collection. This is a better pic of the 4 cameras that I plan to shoot with after I learn the triangle (Aperture, Iso and Shutter). I used the 101 so far and here's a few shots from it. The shots are straight from the camera...haven't learned editing yet either...lol I'm completely new at photography so any advice would be appreciated at this point. I was so excited that the guy at the camera shop said I had images when I went to pick the photos up!! 🤣🤣🤣 I think after the 101, I'm moving to the XD11, followed by the X700 and finally the XE7. But, if there is a better order, I'm totally open to comments. Like I said before, I'm using the Sony A200 with a Minolta lens to learn. It's cheaper to take pictures and erase rather than spend money and shoot a bunch of rolls and not know what the devil I'm doing. LOL Anyone interested in seeing those images, let me know. Thanks again

I've been meaning to post this for a while. I started collecting Minoltas last year after stumbling upon a SRT 101. I don't have ANY photography experience and I'm learning fast so I will have a lot of questions!😂 I didn't start out planning to amass a collection, but they are so beautiful and addictive. I got them all at Goodwills around Southern CA and I was surprised at how cheap a great deal of them were because people just weren't interested in 35mm! Either that or they didn't think they worked...90-95% of them WORK!!!! My goal is to shoot in the order they were introduced to the market, but I know that won't happen. I will post pictures from time to time but please be kind...I have no camera experience! I call them my Black beauties and my Silver beauties. I'll list them all (if any one is interested) and later will provide better pictures. I'm especially pleased at finding the RITZ SRT 201, XD11 in both black and silver, X700, XE7, SRT 101 in black and silver, SR7, Sony A200 and I think I've located a black XK!!!! I also plan to have them CLA as I pull them out to shoot because it's a hard curve learning to shoot and do your own maintenance at the same time...LOL I'll also provide a list of all the lens and accessories I literally got for free with the cameras. Wish me luck and I welcome any advice or comments.
