When at 14 years old I first visited California and shot a roll of black and white film, I used a minolta X-500.

Recently I wanted to get back into film photography and I looked at the SRT lineup and got the SRT 100X.
One of the last iterations of fully manual cameras.

I didn't realize how much heavier the 100X is compared to the X-500.

The 100X needs to be CLA but will likely outlast the x-500 and outlive me. I might sell it.

What better subject to test a new camera and film on, than an old camera? You take what you have, as they say over here.
