The pudgy, unpopular little brother - a photo on Flickriver

If you've seen my Maxxum 7 photo and read the description you know how strongly I feel about that camera. So, if the Maxxum 7 is the cool older brother that gets all the girls then the 7D is the pudgy, unpopular and nerdy little brother.

Controls are laid out the same and they both handle almost identically. But the 7D was heftier, had issues with TTL flash (even using the 5600HS(D)), and just wasn't popular. I had Minolta lenses so, despite the competition being 8MP, I invested in this 6MP sleeper.

Here it's sporting a Sigma 28-70 f/2.8 EX lens. One of the "Pro" lenses with the "gold" ring. Nice enough lens but a few years ago the front element retaining ring and screws came loose and even though it looked in focus through the viewfinder it was anything but at the sensor. I have since "fixed" it and it's about 99.5% right on with autofocus. I can manually focus it better. Should probably send it to Sigma and have it calibrated.
