Battle of the lens (Minolta Mount)

[ratboy]

I didn't get it brand new
but i remember the owner mentioned he got it new for
close to $10k, standard kit ( comes with 24-85 + 131 mb PCMCIA Harddisk, scsi cables etc )

Wah, so exciting to see the Minoltians all banding together for this event.

The only lens that I see doesn't repeat here.. is Sigma 15-30.

At your service!

(But depending on the date/time)

Dear friends,

Thank you for all the warm and positive response. I am trying to plan the detail route of advance and have a few stations for the different shots. If you guys have any suggestions please PM me.

The date of the battle should be either 27 or 28 June (Sulhan, you will be in town right ). Hopefully the event can be done either in the cool morning due to the lighting. Do let me know the date you are available. Thanks.

Regards.

Agree....*nods sagely*... wahahahaha..... :lovegrin: ..... I guess everyone wants to be No.1, hence the 1 in the model number and then everyone wants to tell teh world that their top of the line model is digital hence the "D"..... run out of permuatations after a while.....

Dear friends,

I have finally finished the proposed plan for the outing. Please check you PM for the link to the document. Please also indicate to me on PM which date you prefer and confirm the lens you can bring. Any comments to improve the details of the outing is most certainly welcome.

Thanks.

Hi forbytes,

Apologies for the late interest. I'd like to come and look-see-look-see if you and the others don't mind. What I own is (see below) already being provided by others but I'd just like the chance to meet up with other Minoltans.

Can you PM me with the outing details? If it's Saturday (whole day) or Sunday (morning-2pm) I might be able to make it.

I have the following:

Minolta:
Dynax 600si
100mm f2.8 Macro (D)
50mm f1.4
5400HS flash

Tamron:
28-200mm 3.5-5.6

Thanx,
LH
