Moving on..

Some Old photos, but I still use my KM 7D on occasion. All I can say is " the colors " are magical.

Back to pictures!
Nice pictures - thanks!
Minolta had a superb JPEG engine, no doubt.

Thank you so much, Michael. Yes, I believe I switched the lens into Macro position. Its quite a versatile lens despite being an old design, heavy and clunky.

Biking ?

Nice to see some oldies. I don't use that much the D7 now (to much weight for the big range I need for birding), but I still prefer the results from the Minolta for landscapes and people (and need it for flying birds, the P900 has range but is not fast to get the focus right at long range     )

Not my bike by the way (fortunately ! ), I got  an assisted electric bike mid june and have already made 1230 Km. Very nice for me which have some heart problems.

All the best, Michel.

Minolta Co., Ltd. DiMAGE 7Hi

Beautiful! Very crisp and clean. Makes me want to use my 7Hi again. I haven't used it in quite a few years. My 7Hi had the recalled sensor failure and was sent in for repair. I need to take it out and enjoy it again - the 28-200mm Minolta GT lens is a great performer.

Nice detailed shot, Michel. Is this with the Maxxum 24-105mm? Great to see you using the legendary 7D again.

These are nice.

Wanted 7D for years. Pretty much most of them on ebay have 1st frame black problem unfortunately.
