Ditto...

Else I will grab the OlyDak combo when its ready.;p
 

Will try to save and consolidate my savings. Wait for Minolta to introduce their DSLR cos invested to much money on my SLR and Lenses. Maybe will sell off some under uterlised lenses for this purpose.

Yeah, I will DIE for a Minolta Prosumer DSLR!!!
 

probably an 80-200 SSM lens (when it comes out) to replace my Tokina 80-200 2.8

probably soon, they have merged with Konica and now they got lota funds.
 

Wish lists:

1)Hope to b one of e first few to use minolta new SSM lenses.(ie 28-70 f2.8 G SSM 'D',70-200 f2.8 G SSM 'D', x1.4 Teleconverter SSM 'D'..)

2)Hope tat Minolta will soon come out with a new 400 f4 G SSM 'DS' lens and 400 f4 G SSM 'D' lens to replace the 400 f4.5 G lens. *DS: distance encoder and shock minimiser) Can't think of other name cos got IS(Canon),VR(Nikon) & OS(Sigma) oredi.

3)Start a new era of SSM 'D' or SSM 'DS' lenses,though image stabiliser not a must.

4)Digital Pro SLR: probably call: D7,D7i :at least 8 megapixel(CMOS chip,virtually zero shutter time lag,incoporate Dynax 7 body & feature ,Dimage 7i technology with DEC,in-bulit colour,B/W filter etc.) Price: <$2500
D9,D9i: at least 15 megapixel (Dynax 9 body and e rest same as above)Price: <$7000

:cool:
 

buy a car so that it is easier to bring along all my stuff to wherever I want... :D

Still dreaming....... I know the grip costs around $235 new (alex Photo quoted me in person). Flash is around $400 new? Body is around $1.2K new. So well.......hehehe a bit hard but I'll dream on.

so cheap. I bought the grip at $300/++ and 5600 hs (D) flash for $500/++. body for $1600/++
 

a tad late but my wish is to buy a dynax5/7 *wif lens* by the end of this yr. :D

U buy how long ago uncle??!! I asked for the grip specifically at Alex. I emailed Cathay about the Dynax 7 6 months after it was launched and they quoted $1280. The flash is around there $400 estimated from the price of the 5400 which is also a HSS but without D-metering or something like it. Anyway this fancy feature works with D lens only I think. The 5600 was launched just for the Dynax 7 I was told by Fotoguide.
Really hoping to get it at $800-1K lor. But also a bit uncertain about the Minolta/Konica merger. Not going for DSLR, that's for sure. The digicam I aim for the Fuji FInepixS602 which costs as much as the Dynax 7 body. So the analog first then the digital one. Hehe..ambitious or not for 2003?!
