Re: Any Minolta film fans on the forum?

I got into A mount backwards, using A mount lenses on my A7 bodies with LA-EA3 and LA-EA4. I then bought an A900 to have a more native body for some of the A mount lenses. More recently I got an Maxxum 7000 and a Dynax 7.

The Dynax 7 is a really nice camera. I've shot a couple of rolls with it. The 7000 I bought because it's the first-ish of the A mount line (would like a good 9000 to go with it), so it's more of a collection piece. I'll probably shoot one roll with it just for the hell of it, but it's nowhere near the camera that the 7 is... the new technology was too new and the overall feel is pretty gimmicky.

I just ordered a 7D to go with the Dynax 7 - since they're very similar in layout, and since I've been getting into vintage digitals lately. Kind of neat to have one of the last Minoltas and one of the few CCD A mount cameras.
