But it's amazing how two very different cameras can give basically the same shot...
I think these were maybe 30 minutes apart from each other...
One with my wife's Minolta 7s and its built-in 45mm or whatever lens...
The other with the ZX-L with Pentax FA 28-80 (an older one, with an aperture ring, but not as old as the PZs)
Same batch of Fuji 200 film...
Amazing how very different technologies capture about the same thing, yet not...

I am guessing the first image is from the Minolta. Is this so?
I am not surprised though, I have done a few digital tests (same subject, same camera, same settings,same light but different lenses) and the difference between even nominally similar lenses (say a bunch of 50mm f1.8 or thereabouts) can be quite marked in terms of colour rendition and control of highlights. The difference between a simple prime like the Minolta and a complex zoom like the Pentax I would guess would be even greater.

The bottom is the Minolta, but I don't know how much is the change in the light and how much is the lens.

That's part of what's amazing to me.
On the one hand, the Minolta is a well-regarded fast prime.
The Pentax is a cheap kit lens that's just 30 or so years newer...

And both of them are pretty good... I mean, I don't look at either and think they're lacking terribly in things that could be easily solved by the equipment...

I really think I love the Xenotar more than it's more prestigious colleagues.
