Minolta XG-A

I found this used Minolta XG-A SLR camera for only $9.75. It was originally released in 1982 and was the last of the Minolta XG series family of cameras.

This is a metal souvenir ashtray depicting Arizona. It belonged to my late Mother, and since we lived in Arizona for about 10 years, she collected things from there that had a Western theme. This was a test shot for my newly-acquired Minolta XG-A.
