It was shot with a Minolta 105i on Fuji 400 in 2001 before digital and scanned in from a 4x6 matte finish print

Great scenery and nice photo. Would you ever get used to seeing that every day? I'd never get anything done for all the open-mouthed gawking!

You are so right !! It is all around you, you don't know where to look. I so wish I had digital then and knew immediately what kind of shot I got. I would have taken hundreds.

sony took over Konica-Minolta so it has not the same ethos as it used to - the designers laboured to give amateurs top end pro features at a decent (relative) price but I guess those guys long since retired. Minolta XG (XE on the States) even had an eyepiece window shutter for long exposures, brilliant brick of a tool, nock in nails solid, half the price of a Nikon.
Rokkor glass was amongst the best too, at one time.

Ah well, mine's in the cupboard gathering dust, shame

I had another firefighter I worked with who had several Minoltas and loved them and got great results with them

Thank you very much, and if I was physically able to do so , believe me I would. At this point shooting the mountains of Tennessee will have to suffice. As I go through my prints I see so many places I wish I could go back to with the digital.
