Thanks everyone for their responses, cool collections all.

UK magazine amateur photographer regular run articles on iconic film cameras but I have yet to see Minolta feature.

It seems also that there is a [crazy] world of camera collectors out there who have no intention of ever using them, but displaying them in cabinets.

Though I had a Minolta X-370 for a couple of months (even less) back in the 80s, I mainly settled on A-mount jumping ship from Nikon film cameras.

I came to Minolta film cameras after I got my A100; before that I had all sorts of SLRs, including a string of Olympuses ending in the iS-3000, a nice 35-180 all-in-one zoom body.

My first Minolta film SLR was a Dynax 5 (for AF mount compatibility) and then earlier this year I went on a spree of manual focus cameras and lenses:

SRT 100x
XD-7

Vivitar 28/2.8
W.Rokkor 35/2.8
Rokkor 50/2
Minolta 50/1.7
Rokkor 50/1.4
Rokkor 135/2.8
Rokkor 200/4

Remarkably affordable lenses, compared to AF mount equivalents.

Hmm....let's see:

Bodies:
9000 -- stolen and replaced, still have replacement. Probably will forever, since it's hardly worth selling any more.
9 (non-SSM) -- still have, not sure why I keep it, except I'm not sure it's really worth selling anymore either.
7Hi -- gave away when I bought:
K/M 7D -- sold when I bought:
Sony A 700 -- all I really use any more.

Accessories:
MD 90 + Program Back Super 90 for 9000
Vertical grips for the 9, 7D and A 700. Always bought along with the camera, and only ever removed very temporarily for cleaning and such.
Various flashes, last used around a decade ago or so (though I still use studio flashes).

Fixed focal length lenses:
MinO 28/2.8
MinO 35/1.4
MinO 50/1.7
MinO 50/2.8 Macro -- sold with 7D
K/M 85/1.4
K/M 100/2.8 Macro
MinO 135/2.8

Zooms:
K/M 11-18 4.5-5.6
MinO 35-105 -- stolen along with original 9000, replaced with:
MinO 28-135
Tamron 70-210 3.5 - 4.5 (or something like that). Traded in on:
Minolta 100-300 4.5-5.6 (non APO). Gave to a friend when I bought:
Tamron 70-210/2.8

So, I have all but one fixed focal length lens I ever owned, but half the zooms have disappeared, and the 70-210 is liable to go as soon as I get a 200/2.8.

I'm afraid I've done a poor job of supporting Sony's effort to sell lenses -- the whole time I've owned the Sony body, it's never had a Sony lens mounted to it. Worse, there's no end in sight -- my next lens will probably be a 200/2.8. Sony should probably send me a 135/1.8 and a 70-400G for free just to end such a travesty!

Hi all,
Some really kewl collections posted here. Here's my list.

1971- SR-T 100 w/ 50mm 1.7- Sold
1981- SR-T 201- Sold
1986- Tamron 60-300 Macro (World's best Macro, but HEAVY) and 28-80 Macro
1986- X-570- one swimming lesson and one CLA, works fine
2005- Maxxum HTsi and 35-70- My first ever AF...I like it, but...
2005- Maxxum 800si- Sold
2005- X-700
2005- Maxxum XTsi- needed repair
2005- Maxxum HTsi Plus- parts donor for XTsi
2007- Maxxum HTsi- Now my wife's "zipcam"- see below
2007- Tamron 28-70 on the HTsi makes incredibly light SLR w/ features
2008- Maxxum 7 OH Yeah!!!
2008- Maxxum XTsi- needs repair- AF module or mirror reset.

2007- Sunpak Auto30DX- One of the best back in the day
2007- Tamron 70-300 Macro and 1.4 TC- disappointing after the MF 60-300

plus assorted flashes and lenses.

What do I reach for most often these days?
Maxxum 7...love the creative choices and how it fits my hand
XTsi...lighter weight yet still can do WL flash
KM 28-100...versatile lens for most uses
KM 50mm 1.7...in case I need a low light solution
Tamron 1.4 TC...for a little stretch without losing too much light

Likely future Minolta?
The Maxxum 70/Dynax 60- Yes, I know its crippled with a slow flash sync and a slow top speed, but better AF than the 3-point XTsi in a lightweight body that is not sized for a child.

Blessing to all,
Lightspirit
