Freedom from the\u00a0enslaving 4×3 images\u00a0or even the oppressive\u00a016×9.\u00a0 Only this Minolta will set you free with its 27×10 aspect ratio.\u00a0 Within\u00a0its images\u00a0you will be able to realize your dreams of wide horizons and grand vistas oh the vistas you will see.\u00a0 Perhaps I’m overstating it slightly but composing for what is nearly a 3×1 aspect ratio is certainly different.\u00a0 You really need to move away from the traditional notions of\u00a0composition and divide the image area in new ways.\u00a0 It’s not always easy to fill the frame with interest but it’s also not a good idea compositionally to have large areas with nothing in them as they tend to appear very static.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0My Minolta Vista is looking pretty beat-up but it works perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
