What Minolta Camera do you have?

[andrewlee]

Started with Konica & Praktica Manual SLR's.

First AutoFocus SLR was Minolta Dynax 5 (with 28-80 & 75-300). Very nice to Use.

Sold that to buy 2nd hand Minolta Dimage 7. Pretty Good too.

Bought Olympus E10. Sold Dimage.

Bought KM Dynax 5D (still have it presently). Sold E10.

[Also bought and sold Dimage X31]

So you see, I'm a huge Minolta Fan, but must admit that I'm not impressed with the 5D's AF problems. Other than that, Minolta's stuff is fantastic. Hope Sony improves on that.

what! 4 film bodies!!!

I've been considering purchasing a film body as a backup, especially after a bad experience when my 5D died on me during an air show. But I get the impression that film is very difficult to find/purchase now-a-days. Is this true?

thanks

2-x700s, maxxum 5, 7d, 7000, 7000i, 700i, srt201. I'm sure there's a couple I can't think of. Wish Minolta would have come out with a digital x700, it is the best manual focus film slr they came out with.

Dynax 404Si
Dynax 5D

i have a Konica Minolta DiMAGE G400. a simple point-and-shoot.
what i liked about it was its natural colours, fast start-up times and solid rugged built.
