This is what I have .

I can't remember the part number , but it was sold for either the Dynax ( Maxxum/Alpha 7 ) 7 or the Dynax 7d

The one for the 7d was called a CS-7d ( no. 6181-610 ) .

I think it was the same in anycase , both fit .

With the Dynax 60 ( Maxxum 70 ) being smaller , that also fits .

The following pictures are a Dynax 7 in the case with a Minolta 24-105mm lens on .

A Maxxum 70 with the same lens on in the case .

Then the Dynax 7 in the case with a 24-105mm lens on and the Maxxum 70 with a Minolta 24-50mm f/4 next to it so you can see the size of it in relation the the other .

Don't forget the case will prevent scratches etc when it's packed elsewhere , but being very thin it doesn't protect the camera from bumps etc.

I appreciate the detailed pictures! Central Camera was kind enough to search their old Minolta catalogs and confirmed that case CS-7 is for the Maxxum 70, among other Minolta cameras of the time. Based on your pictures, I feel certain it's a smaller case than the CS-7D, but the same build.

I can't even find a completed CS-7 auction on eBay. There's currently one CS-5 for the Maxxum 50 being offered.

I found the Lowepro Adventura TLZ 30 II holster case for $20 shipped. It offers more protection and the interior dimensions seem to be the right size so I ordered it.
