    I used to have a Minolta 16. Got some really good pics with it.

    Its always a treat when a good one comes out. Everything thing has to be perfect in setup to achieve highest resolution of the sharpest lens in existence. Tripod, f8 or f11, cable release, high resolution microfilm, not screwing up developing, getting the negatives into the scanner, etc... Actual analog printing even more challenging. It isn't easy, but that makes the reward greater, eh.

    @neufotomacher I didn't even realize this thing had a cable release!

    @rabidnemo Thanks for the comment. I made a cable release attachment point by cutting a simple tab from thick brass shim stock and putting a hole in it and tapping a thread into with a steel bolt. Then I clamped the tab in place over the shutter button under the original tripod mount clamp. A standard cable release then functions.
