Minolta Dynax 700si 35mm film camera

I have been having some trouble focusing my cameras recently so thought it was time to try and autofocus camera.  I do have the old Olympus OM30 with the autofocus zoom lens but it is rather clunky and wanted to try something more modern.

So after looking around I decided to give the Minolta Dynax range a go.  I looked at the different models and reviews which took quite a while.  Eventually I settled on the 700si with two lenses.  I have just had a quick go with it so far but it looks good.  I shall give it a good test vs my OM4Ti soon.

Now all I need to do is find the time

First one is using the Red 003.  Which I this is too much. The nest few I think where using either the Gradual or Warm ones but I forgot to take a note of what I was using
