Minolta Maxxum 7 and AF 28-135mm f/4-4.5

            Here's the camera and lens I shot my most recent roll of film with at Fort Williams Park (see photos on either side of this posting). I was wicked impressed with this combination - it handled beautifully and the images came out very sharp. A couple shots showed some barrel distortion, but nothing out of the ordinary for a longish zoom. And the distortions I saw were easily corrected in post processing. The Maxxum 7 camera body is fantastic. They are known for developing a sticky surface on the film door, and mine was starting to feel a little too tacky in hand. But I recently spent time removing the offending rubber coating using rubbing alcohol and Q-tips. This was the first roll I shot after eliminating the sticky coating, and it was a wonderful improvement, as that always tended to bother me when handling the camera.
