What can I say, I’m an analogue kinda guy.
Shown is my 1946 Smith Corona Sterling with my 1939 Graflex Speed Graphic camera and pocket watch sitting in a roll top desk of my own design and build. The early morning sun was streaming through the window signifying the start of a new day. I do use my tech gear extensively but it’s utilitarian. There is something tremendously freeing and satisfying about creating without the aid of a computer using just my eyes, mind and hands. Taken with Fujifilm XT3

Another nice addition to my Minolta film camera collection....

Some consider the Minolta Maxxum 9 (a.k.a. Alpha 9 or Dynax 9) to arguably be one of the finest professional-grade 35mm SLR cameras ever made. It just screams of toughness and quality. It is one of those cameras that you pick up & instantly know that it’s ready to put in a hard days work.

The Minolta Maxxum 9 was released in 1998 and was to be Minolta’s last true professional film body. This exceptionally full-featured camera offers a maximum shutter speed capability from 30 seconds to 1/12000 of a second, carbon-fibre reinforced shutter blades, and a pack leading maximum frame rate of 5.5 frames/second which was one of the highest fps at the time. This beast of a camera was obviously built to last. The feel & heft of the camera is evidence that quality was imperative when this camera was designed by the Minolta engineers. It has a 14 segment multi-mode active autofocus area meter as well as data memory when paired with a DM-9 Data Memory Back.
