Now that A mount is dead...

How about combining this and the Sony A Mount forum into a single Sony/Minolta A Mount Forum.

Re: Now that A mount is dead...

Perhaps the Minolta name added to the Sony forum title.

Our DiMAGE cameras aren't A-mount. Or the old Konicas.

Most of the posts on this forum recently tend to be about DiMage digital cameras and the SR mount Minolta film cameras .

Maybe a Sony A mount / Minolta / KonicaMinolta / Konica Forum ?

Sounds a bit negative .

How about an " In memorandum of Sony A/Minolta/Konica/Forum " ?

Don't forget the "A" , don't want to upset the Sony Cybershot and E-mount Forum guy's !

Cybershot and E Mount are alive and well so they wouldn't be part of a dead forum. BTW I own 4 Cybershot 1" cameras which I use a lot more than my A99ii.

They might well be alive , but even with the current title of the "Sony A mount forum " it doesn't stop a load of E-mount camera and lens questions being posted !

The only Cybershot camera I have is the R1 , the Dimage A200 get's more use than it , being nice and compact ( relatively speaking ) .

The Sony a900 and a77ii are still my main cameras , but I'm shooting more film than digital these days .

Re: Now that A mount is dead...

I am wondering how this will effect the price of used a99ii's .

I wouldn't mind one if one comes up at the right price .

Initially the price may go up!

I'm not in a hurry .

My existing gear is more than adequate for my needs , but it would be an upgrade that would meet my needs for a very long time .
