here is my scan of an old magazine ad for the Minolta 7000 from the mid-80s.
it was a ground-breaking SLR and i think i had a childhood fantasy over it I am pretty sure i photocopied the form and sent away to Minolta for a copy of that brochure ... which i don't know whether i still have... in a box somewhere... but as i am a compulsive hoarder i wouldn't be surprised if i do

Timely. as the new cameras have the same sort of styling.

Re: Minolta ads
I have a lot of old Minolta literature and magazines but not always easy to find.
You can post images directly, no need to use a link and hide it, as it is better to see the image on the page I think:
It makes any subsequent discussion on the forum a bit easier for people dropping in on a thread if they can see the pic. Reduces the hit count on the Imageshack page though I guess

Interesting, that has AF speeds too!
Hard to read the numbers though.
That's the classic 80's Boxy hi fi look that found it's way onto cameras!

Re: Minolta ads
David, your comment about posting images directly prompts me to ask how. I must be missing something but whenever I post an image it is uploaded as an attachment thumbnail which opens up when clicked.

Re: Minolta ads
Just host the image elsewhere, like pBase or photobucket, and post an IMG link. I can't change the thumbnail/open behaviour of the forum software, pity but that's how it works.artington wrote:David, your comment about posting images directly prompts me to ask how.

Re: Minolta ads
Nice.. . i like how old ads go for the *detailed blurb* approach, in contrast to nowadays where there seems to be more emphasis on visuals.
I think some of these old ads, especially posters, can be quite collectable. Something like that could look nice if carefully removed (not torn!, lol) and framed on a wall. Especially if it's of a vintage Minolta camera that you own

Re: Minolta ads
Could we get a scan of the text side that is readable? Would love to see what it says.
