MINOLTA TWIN LENS

It seems that everyone is trying to make the smallest camera possible crammed with as many features imaginable that were traditionally associated with only DSLR’s, case in point HERE. My only issue with this trend is that even with full manual settings, interchangeable lens and high range of megapixels you still have to deal with the fact your capturing your image on a crop sensor the size of a postage stamp (don’t even get me started on ultra compacts).
On top of that I have also found that I end up doing nothing with these images I take on these tiny cameras, they are stored on my laptop and I never look at them.
So I say screw tiny cameras with millions of function, forget 2gig flash cards that take thousands of useless images, I want to slow down. I want photo albums like my parents had, I don’t want all my memories to be stored on facebook.
Introducing my new 1966 Minolta Twin lens medium format camera. Each roll of 120 film stores 10 frames, so each image has to be well thought out. This bad boy takes negatives at 6 x 6 cm, so image quality is going to be bawss.
By the way, I used a Canon 450 D DSLR to take these images and the irony is not lost on me…
