SEA Game in KL, 1989. Yes I am very old already....:D

If I remember correctly, the camera was Minolta X-700 with standard zoom, something like 35-75. Films used were Fuji and Kodak (they weren't called Superia & Gold then) and all ISO100 (common speed then).

Opening ceremony at Stadium Merdeka

The upper tier of seats has been torn down now.

Parachute landing into the stadium. There was a tragedy few days before the opening ceremony. During practice, 2 paratroopers collided in mid-air and crashed onto the road at Dewan Bahasa, near the stadium.

The camera was the 1st winner of European Camera Of The Year. Wonder whether Minolta has won any other award since then but definitely they won't be winning anything anymore.....:D
