Pentax P3 SLR

Pentax P3 is a very nice SLR camera from the 80′s. It is light, easy to use but very capable of producing excellent results. It has full manual exposure controls and like other cameras from the 80′s, a battery on/off switch to save the battery’s life.
I got this lovely camera from my good friends Rita and her daughter Shawne, but if you are not as lucky and don’t have such generous friends, you can still find this camera on ebay for a very reasonable price.
In order to test this camera I loaded it with a roll of Legacy Pro 400 (my current test film: $1.89 at freestyle) and developed it normally (Arista Dev. 7min. @ 1:10). I shot most of the pictures on the roll during an evening rain storm, not the best of conditions but all the pictures turned out quite sharp and nicely exposed. I think I really like this camera!

Minolta X-370 SLR

While visiting Santa Barbara a few weeks ago I stumbled upon a jam-packed antique and second hand store, and there on a shelf I found a lovely film camera which I determined I gotta have. It was a Minolta X-370, a nice SLR from the 80’s.
It reminds me of my favorite camera, Minolta SRT 101, except it is much lighter, which is always a plus.
Being from the 80’s it has an auto shutter speed option and a battery on/off switch. Other than that, pretty much it is like any other SLR I used before.
Overall a nice camera and a pleasure to shoot.
