A dealer has agreed to sell it for me on a commision basis. (I also have got some Minolta cameras which they wo...

I have got no problem in paying a membership.

I am thinking of buying a 2nd body as a back up to my A700

Thanks to everyone who contributed to my last post, I have purchased the minolta 1.7 It has occurred to me that it appears that these old lenses are still held in high regard compared to some modern lenses. What old lenses are worth seeking out for my A700 with a view to go full frame in the future ...
