Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D

Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D DSLR

I've been a Minolta fan since the 1970's and was sad when Minolta went out of business in 2005. This was the last camera they ever made and I was even sadder when I wore it out.

However, I can still coax it to life once in a while and take some pictures with it.
