Around Pacific Sutera Hotel Resort and the Harbour Area, Kota Kinabaru, Sabah, with the Minolta Compact

 
 
 
 
 
My Minolta Hi-Matic AF2 that took all these delightful photos.
 
This is possibly the most exciting roll of film of have ever taken, given the 34 year age of this little camera and the fact that after using Nikon and Leica SLRs, I did not have great expectations in terms of film quality. But this camera is a gem, producing what I regard in many cases as better than digital quality. The more the photos are enlarged, the better they look. I am looking forward to using this classic more often in the future and testing it further.
