Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D (Dynax 5D) review

Great upgrade from my old bellowed Minolta A1. The camera is small, but in my opinion, feels much better in my hands than the Canon 350xt. The kit-lens is ok to the price, but not much more. This camera deserves a better lens than that. I have been using it with an old 35-70/f4, with great results. Also the 50mm/1.,7 gives sharp pictures with this camera. As I wear glasses, I really would like a better viewfinder, but I manage.

Problems:

The diopter screw does not work properly on my camera. It seems to be limited to 0-+2.
