This is my second Minolta XG1, one I won on a "popular online auction site" and it arrived this Saturday, May 4th, 2016. This image shows how I reattached the leather that was coming loose. It was only coming loose from around the lens, so it didn't take much to get it back to a nearly new condition. And since it came without a lens, I threw on an old lens I had just for the picture.

I've had this Minolta XG1 since 2006, but it was probably made in 1979. The leather on these cameras tends to come unglued, so I finally did something about it. I used contact cement and reseated the leather and it looks much better now.

This was a picture of my neighbor's house, who lived across the street from me. This was taken from my front porch with a long lens. Be sure to read the note I have placed on the picture to find out the significance of why I took it in the first place. Taken with my Minolta XG1 quite a few years back. I finished the last few frames on the roll and had them developed on July 15th, 2010.

I was told that this was an Ornamental Pear Tree. Does anybody recognize if this is so? Update: Thanks to Pam J below, this has been identified as a Bradford Pear.

This was the closest shot of the moon I had taken up to this point in time back in 2007. It was my first zoom lens and I was real happy to be able to expand my reach.
