Sure it's not a real Minolta and they're obviously using the name

But they're doing more than Sony is on A mount erm 2016 last camera, what a shame I sure wish someone would buy A mount off them it deserves so much more

Never going to happen .

Who would buy it ?

An existing camera maker will stick to their own mount , a new firm not going to use it either .

All current camera makers ( with the probably exception of Pentax ) are moving towards mirrorless .

DSLRs and SLTs are all on borrowed time .

Make the most of what we have , it might be all we ever have .

Why leave it to Sony to do nothing anything is better than that

Sure you can buy overpriced old models at inflated "don't buy prices" why bother?

More A mount dudes around than K mount users no question they still have something going on

Who would in their right mind buy a new A99II at full price? Used maybe, but why sell old models at inflated prices. The least they could do is make a good adapter, didn't even manage that some user hacks the LEA4 to offer a solution. What a great company lol not
