Minolta XG1 No. 2

This is my second Minolta XG1, one I won on a "popular online auction site" and it arrived this Saturday, May 4th, 2016. This image shows how I reattached the leather that was coming loose. It was only coming loose from around the lens, so it didn't take much to get it back to a nearly new condition. And since it came without a lens, I threw on an old lens I had just for the picture.

The same construction supplies I shot and posted a week ago. This one was taken during the day, with only the light of the window illuminating the garage.
