A close-up image of a vintage Minolta-35. The Minolta-35 was launched in the spring of 1947 by Chiyoda Kogaku. It was the first successful new 35mm rangefinder camera with Leica specifications to emerge on the market after World War II that uses the 39mm screw lens-mount. The Minolta-35 range of cameras was manufactured in quantities during its twelve-year production period, totaling about 40,000 units. Only the 1933 FED and the 1940 Leotax cameras had appeared successfully before it, although several Leica copies had appeared in both Italy and Japan.

Post processed in Lightroom and Nik CollectionIn my camera bag
I usually carry my Nikon D5300, 18-55 & 55-300 kit lenses. Depending on my plans, I also carry either a lightweight or heavyweight tripod.Feedback
Just experiment with the equipment you have and don't think you need all kinds of flashes, lights etc.. Improvisation, trials and errors help you to grow. Sometimes it takes many, many shots until you get the results you want.Be patient.
