I resisted, but the price was so low, I had to spring. Wayne has always teased that he has never held a Minolta camera in his hands, and my answer has always been, "I've never held a NIKON"....but now I own a NIKON. So Wayne, it's time for you to buy a Minolta!!!

Wayne didn't reply, he must be out there searching for a Minolta. ;D

I STILL have a pile of Nikons. Considering starting a collection of Ricoh SLRs and RFs.

Welcome to the Dark Side, Randy. That EL will probably resemble many of your old Minoltas. As you know, I once collected both Nikons and Minoltas because I liked them both so much - a shared sense of quality and durability. I had to sell off the Minoltas as my wife thought the collection was getting out of hand (I think Bob ended up with a few of them). Enjoy - and try not to drop it on your foot.

Well, I got the piece of junk. The shutter speed circuit is shot. It only shoots at 1/90, with a new battery. Another one for the junk box.

Well, the guy lied, and now he is ignoring me. I don't like to file reports so I'll just suck it up. It looks like a new camera...what a shame.

Yes. I think he's one of those storage unit buyers.

Randy. This auspicious event surely demands a medal or a ribbon or a loving cup or a star or a check mark. OK Bragging rights. Let us know how it compares to your Minoltas. Mickey

Randy. Sorry about the EL. Hopefully you didn't have to pay too much for it. An EL in good shape usually commands a pretty decent price. As for Minoltas--not likely. I'm pretty much done acquiring film cameras of any brand.

Randy, It's possible that some one before you got stung and didn't file a report so you were the next sucker. If you don't report the guy somebody after you will be shafted. Where will it end? It could be me. Or ------- thanks to your report justice might prevail for the victim and the perpetrator. Mickey
