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

yes they were, do they make them anymore??
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

you should go go back!
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.
