Minolta Maxxum QTsi

I only paid $3.54 for this camera and lens together - and it works fine! Now I just have to run some film through it to give a full test. Update: I ran a roll of black and white film through it and it works absolutely perfectly!

I happened to hear these 4-wheelers coming down the road where I live and got in position to get this shot of them passing by. This is the first time I’ve used this camera and, not sure whether it was in working condition or not, I ran a roll of black and white film through it. I was so pleased to see that when I developed the film, absolutely every frame (all 37!) turned out perfectly exposed! I used no leveling adjustments when I scanned the negatives and didn’t even use a single adjustment in post processing. Other than cloning out a few tiny lint specks, this image is just as it was taken straight out of the camera.
