I have posted images from this little yardsale find before.  The Minolta AF-2 has a fixed focus 38mm F2.8 lens, shutter speeds that run from c. 1/15 to c. 1/500.  I don't know for sure--it is not marked.  I love this little Point & Shoot because it has a brightline finder, and a real advance lever.  It is often the best camera I have (with me), because I will take it with me when I leave  bigger, heavier, more expensive cameras at home.

I made this shot of English Harbor recently when I was in Antigua. (It was work, really it was).  It is a composite of three shots, shooting from right to left.  As I turned, I dropped the frame lower each time.  On the left, I had to use pieces of sky from the right to fill out the picture.  I tried fading it together, but liked the pieced look better.  The second picture is a full-sized crop from the extreme left hand frame.  Scanned at 2900 dpi on a Cool-Scan IV.
