Big Minolta fan as well. About 10 years ago I found an RD175 at a flea market and restored it to working order, it was a great talking point about the history of digital cameras. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minolta_RD-175 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minolta_RD-175
Contax is another underdog. I still shoot 35mm with a Contax N and G, both are incredible pieces of technology and product design.
- ceearrbee 5y agoAh, I am so jealous. I would love to get one of the early Minolta digital SLRs, just for fun - the 5D or the 7D is actually somewhat feasible too! I always considered Contax to be higher end, but sort of niche. Not for consumers. I still want a Contax AX - AF on any manual lens by moving the entire film plane? Yes please!
