Re: Any Minolta film fans on the forum?

Have not used film in a while, other than some 4x5 for copying paintings.

Have kept and added to my Minolta 35mm film cameras: 2 Maxxum 9's several 7000's bought for the lenses, 2 XK's had for 30+ years, 1 XE-7, a nice X700 and several older SRT's and SR7. Also 3 Maxxum 70's the last film camera Minolta made.

I can't bring myself to get rid of them, besides they have virtually no value today.

Interesting note: I have a copy of the 1965/66 Blue Book that lists the Minolta SR7 with 58mm f/1.4 at about 80% of the cost of a Leica M3 body only. Just some food for thought.
