Very nice. I probably shoot about 50% close up and macro. Bugs, plants, weird things.

I just looked and I still can't find this lens on the used markets here in the US. I would love to have one.

Re: A2 with CL49-200

Good day. I just bought the A2 with eight batteries (no charger), a telephoto converter and wide angle converter from Goodwill.  Two of the batteries still have a charge so I was able to power it on and all seems fine. It all came in a Pelican case. I only want to keep the case. Any idea what the camera kit is worth? I plan on selling but thought I'd look on here for some info. Thanks.

If it is in working condition it should be worth about $20. That what I paid when I bought one from Goodwill online. I paid about the same for a working A200. Not so much with the A1, two of which had bad screens. The A2 at 8 meg with a great lens is a fine example of Konica/Minolta engineering. They take great pictures if you are into photography rather than collecting!

Some Very Good Articles...

If you haven't read them, there are 2 very good articles about the A2. One is called "Konica Minolta Ax FAQ" and was put out by a group of users here on this forum years ago. The other is called "How To Improve Your A2 Experience" by Vegard Brenna, who was (still is?) a user from here.

Also make sure you have the last software update.
