My Maxxum 7000 with crossed X's from 1985 isn't dead. Neither are a dozen other A-mount bodies that I own.

I am sorry to hear that your A-mount camera is dead... but mine definitely aren't!

oh no, I didn't mean it like that. The 7D is still my go to DSLR, the one I really enjoy using in most situations.
I meant it's dead in the sense I didn't care that they stopped making A-mount lenses: beside my dead white 400mm that I'll eventually replace if I find a cheap one, I actually have all the lenses I need, and I'm happy with them.

It's just some glass, some silicon and magnesium. It isn't a religion.
