Another new (old) lens - Minolta 85mm f1.7

Barter my designed bookshelf speakers for two Minolta primes.
 : Minolta MD 85mm f1.7 - lot of fungus and scratches, yet workable for me
: Minolta 100mm f2.5 - Never seen such a mishandled lens before this one. What a lens that is wasted by some user in the past. It is almost unusable now unless I can think of some special purpose.

Chennai has many Bengalis living their life in a different geographical and cultural world here. A group of people, friends had taken an initiative to sing Rabindrasangeet in a group, a large group rather, counting nearly 80. They will sing 20 songs all together, once, on stage. To do this, with so many members to be in sync, they are practicing for months. This session is one of them.

Kaas plateau - impossibly natural

You are lucky if you stay near Satara. If not, pack your camera, reach Kasara or Pune to reach this place. You will be welcome by a patient nature who did impossibly natural beauties there. We had hard time trying close our jaws and keeping our eyes open. Kaas is a flower land, a plateu full of varieties of flowers. They grow naturally, they live for a short time, like any other beauties. And the place keep on bringing new varieties within days. It all happens in June to October beginning, depending on temperature, humidity of the time. Lets stop talking or reading, start seeing the faint tr that me could through a mere light sealed box and lenses.
