I've been putting this rig together for a while now, one piece at a time. It's all just about new in condition.
The Minolta Maxxum XTSi was released in 1998, the 3200i flash is from a few years earlier.
This is one of the toys I lusted after when it came out but couldn't afford, the body alone was 600 bucks in 1998.
Minolta digital cameras appeared not long after this, rhen the line was bought by Sony. If I put this camera next to my Sony Alpha digital the XTSi, although smaller, shows a lot of the same design trends, likely from the same R&D team.
I didn't need it, of course, but if the world is ending tomorrow anyway, why not!
Thank you.
I got one of these fine machines back in the mid-80s as a gift from Time Magazine just for subscribing to their crappy mag.
I’ll miss you... /S
;-)
Where are you going?
Could be some folks don't think they can behave themselves much longer LOL!
Hence my tag line....
The rest of the message I get is “don’t go snooping around, if you’re supposed to know I’ll tell you”.
No man knoweth the day or the hour.....
I have a dedicated Minolta flash that will work on your camera. Have no need for it. PM a mailing address and I’ll send it to you.
Were those cameras created to record kinetic military operations?
