and i took a lot of film, which i hope i can get developed sooon
Now this is one I have been interested in getting for some time ... the first A-mount digital camera produced by Minolta, dating from 1995, here with a decent 24-85mm AF f/3.5-4.5 lens.
It's a bit of a monster, with a film body grafted on to a digital grip and casing. The sensor is in fact 3 CCD chips (2 x green, 1 x red/blue) that produce an interpolated 1.75MP image. The crop factor is x2.0, so quite close to m4/3rds (except it's 3:2 not 4:3).
The setup is missing a SCSI cable to connect the camera to a PC or Mac of suitable vintage and pictures are stored on a 130MB PCMCIA card. The native RAW format (.MDC) appears not to be supported by modern software (not LR or PS anyway) but happily Picasa will make sense of them. (Except that the pixels are rectangular, not square, so the aspect ratio in Picasa is more like 16:9 than 3:2.)
The software for the camera is said to work under Win XP and my plan is to substitute a CF card for the current thing (in an adapter) and to try to get a working set up that way. I may need help in connecting the camera to a PC as Minolta used some sort of rare half-baked SCSI cable and nothing approaching a standard one.
The software comes with some sort of TWAIN driver plugin for early versions of Photoshop, and that will be another challenge one day.
The camera reportedly had a list price of £7,500 - £8,500 when it was launched, though one review in 1997 suggested street prices were closer to $5,000 in the USA. Being a late adopter I paid a tiny fraction of that and have the benefit of a good 24-85mm AF zoom for my other cameras, but I would love to get a picture out of this thing first.
AEC Reliances were always popular as transporter conversions, more so when 12-metre models became available, giving a bit more space inside for the car and/or accommodation. Alexander Y-type bodies were a rarity though, and this one was rare anyway, being new to an independent operator.
175 FLY was new to Premier Travel, Cambridge as OVE 232J, and was sold for conversion when only 10 years old, to Glyndwr Pursey of Bromham, Beds. His car number was 175, so the registration was possibly the first example of a cherished plate being used on a transporter in this way.
Can I have a go - PLEASE!!

Finally learned how to use layer curves and adjustment layers! This was the first image I edited with those techniques. Thank you Phlearn.
I'm not in the mood today, so, a cliché picture representing two things I love the most: photography and writing. But I also hate to see them represented in this way: photography as a DSLR camera and writing as a moleskine.
Guess I need to take Lizzie to take a walk, I need to take more pictures outside.

The first time a class 175 has penetrated Cornwall further west than Liskeard. 175114 and 175009 head back to Plymouth on a staff training trip from Penzance passing Dowgas. A great livery for us photographers, but it will be a sad day when they take over from the short formed HST’s.
