yup...but u gotta give it to them for continuing with the commitment. they can cut out the orders for less popular lens to save money....
I think they are probably the same people who were managing the KM range. Anyway, it may have been long preempted that Minolta will be sold to Sony. Even before Konica took over, the Minolta PnS have a slot for SD and another for MS!! They are the only PnS cameras then which has an MS slot other than Sony, so go figure. ;p
