Maxxums are still my SLR >choice (stuff deleted) - Tina Interestingly enough, the recent Photo Techniques article on the subject mentioned Minolta as a brand admired for it's good bokeh! Unfortunately, there were no details as to which models (MD or AF optics??) in particular were favored. Usually, when I go to swap meets, I'm on the lookout for cheap Pentax MXes (never used post-60s Pentax optics-any good?). Now, I might look for cheap Minoltas as well :-) Jeff
