Despite Nikon being my primary and largest camera system, I love my Minolta A-Mount, so the next stop on the camera tour is that excellent autofocus system that still survives (kind of) today!

This week I throw my Nikon F801S into the Cheap Camera Shootout. A "professional" grade camera that's cheap to buy and helps me prove a point about "entry level" cameras.

I just learned (remembered?) that there is a thing called #FolderWeek. But...but...but, I still need to shoot a roll for April's #12x12 challenge and I wanted to try out the second Agfa Box I recently got.
So much film to shoot, so little time...

Next up in my Cheap Camera Shootout is my Minolta Dynax 4 that I bought for the princely sum of £10 from a dear friend who hosts "The Old Un's Shot!" you tube channel.

Nothing like a little bit of GAS, especially Nikon GAS, to kick off the month. The latest CCR episode is about the team's favourite lenses in the Nikon F-Mount!
