In a message dated 98-03-01 20:35:48 EST, you write: << "If I had been using any other DEPENDABLE camera, (and I own plenty of them), I would have gotten the shot. Doesn't matter if the camera costs $5 or $5000, you have to "get the shot". Will I use the Minolta XK again? Yes, but if it's an important shot I'll set the exposure system to "manual" instead of automatic. Any similar stories out there? " >>
Once while spending a week on the Modoc Line in Northern California my shutter wouldn't close on my Minolta X-700 after photographing a train, or should I say trying to photgraph a train, at the big horseshoe at Likely. This also happened to be the second day of a seven day trip. I drove to Klamath Falls and purchased a new one at the first camera store I could find. Thank God for VISA.
