I had the chance to try out the Minolta x700 camera somewhere around the neighborhood yesterday, instead of just around my house. The results are okay. All shots I took came out. It's not really what I expected to look. But it does has it's own quality. Maybe because I got it developed from Walgreens instead of the Photo Labs that focuses only on photography, which I am going to get it developed on my next session with the camera. Including using a high quality 35mm film, or even a slide film from a Photography Store. Photo Labs like Wolf Camera, and they are located not too far from my house. The camera was set in auto aperture, the only manual was the focus. Therefore, I got to learn few more functions about the camera later. Bottom line, the results are pretty interesting. Sorta americana from the 60's. I bet it looks cool on blondes or redheads with freckles, or people with really dark dark skin tones. Even golden brown skinned people. I like it how it's bright. Not the typical smooth effects that most digital cameras has but that's another type of photography. This is a under 150 bucks SLR camera. With an interesting results that brings you back in time.
I used two rolls of the three 12 exposures that came with the camera. I am not going to use the last 12 rolls man. I had to pay the same amount as of to pay a 36 rolls of films. That would be cool though, if they invent a portable film developer and you just pretty much scan the films, with professional result.
