I have a whole bunch of decent Minolta glass. . For years my number one picture taking lens was my Minolta 100/2.8 macro. I honestly doubt that any real situation photo comparisons would reveal any differences between it and similar from Nikon or Canon. But that was then. I've since picked up a used Minolta 85/1.4 and now both my Minolta 100 and my beloved 90/2 APO Summicron ASPH are collecting dust in the bottom of my equipment bags. So I will have no problem deciding to buy the Minolta Maxxum 7D, barring terrible reviews, prices, etc. At 11:09 PM 16-03-04 -0800, Henning Wulff wrote: >At 1:31 AM -0500 3/17/04, Sam wrote: >>I've been preaching this camera to deaf ears, but I suggest you save >>your SLR digital money until it comes out: >> >>http://www.vividlight.com/articles/3413.htm >> >>If you put aside silly notions about Canon and Nikon being >>"professional" cameras and all the rest something less, you will be >>doing yourself a favor. > >But who's got any decent Minolta glass?
