Message from Ruud:

Hello, These pages gave me a lot of information about Sony/Minolta cameras, flashes and lenses. Thanks for this. I still love the a-mount and use it very often. Over the years I collected a lot of lenses. My first (film)camera was the Minolta 7000, went over to the most beautiful Dynax 7000i. For the looks I bought the white Dynax 8000i (space) set. After that I upgraded to the 800si. Started digital with the Konica Minolta 7D, went to the Sony Alpha A500. From that to A77, A77M2 and I now use the Ilca-A99M2. What a great camera is that!
So, thanks again for all the information you provided us through the years.

I have bought a Minolta 500mm mirror lens MC/MD but it has an Olympus OM film mount. It's a proper conversion so does anybody know who did this, & how can I revert to original ?

Moin,
Ihre sehr gute und informative Seite besuche ich hin- und wieder (und jetzt wieder mehr... ) und weiß Ihre Beiträge sehr zu schätzen. Leider gibt es schon lange nichts mehr Aktuelles mehr, z.B. Beiträge zur SONY A7 MK II und den Sony A99 Modellen. Ich weiß dass diese Baureihe wahrscheinlich einen langsamen Tod sterben wird, aber es wäre schön, wenn die A-Mount Welt auf dieser besonderen website eine Zukunft hätte.
Liebe Grüße aus Flensburg
Roland

Testberichte habe ich immer nur für Kameras u.a. geschrieben, die ich auch selbst besitze und verwende. Das ist bei o.g. nicht der Fall. Die technischen Daten sind jedoch weiter in der Wissensdatenbank zu finden.

A-mount is alive and this database is a real gem!
Especially if you want to use the best Minolta lenses on modern digital Sony A-mount.

Message from Warren B Arrington:

I am now a disabled vet and I can no longer use my Minolta 100-400 apo lens free . handed . I have been trying to locate a tripod mount ring for or compatible with this lens. Can you help me?

Michael Hohner answers:

Minolta has not made a tripod mount for this lens. I also don't know that anybody else did.

In three words: a true classic.
In two words: thank you.
In one word: WOW.

Need I say more? This always was and remains a #1 top resource for all Minolta/Sony A and E-mount shooters. With a nice photo gallery as icing on top. Very much appreciated.

Message from Albert Diemberger:

Ohne Ihre Website auch nur entfernt ausgelotet zu haben, bedanke ich mich einmal im voraus. Man erkennt es sehr rasch, dass da einer mit Geschmack, Können und Wissen fachkundig schreibt, und.........., dass er gut schreibt. Eine wichtige Sache, für mich und sicher auch für sehr viele Leser. Es ist ein schönes Erlebnis, wenn man nach jahrelangem Umgang mit Fotoapparaten, auf einen Blick, ohne richtig zu suchen, ein Technisches Detail erklärt bekommt, das viele Autoren bewusst nur "streifen", weil sie es selber kaum verstehen.
Ich freue mich schon auf alles, was ich noch lesen darf, auf Ihrer Seite.

Liebe Grüsse aus Österreich!
Albert.
