Minolta 7000i
Is the Minolta 7000i camera and lenses one of the most overlooked bargins on Ebay? I have two of these which live in my car. one with the 50mm lens and the other with a medium zoom lens and flash. The whole lot cost me less than £30.00. You can buy a body for less than £15.00. The lenses are sharp and cheap as chips. My cameras have been well used and abused but they just keep on going and if I break them they are so inexpensive to replace.

Although I am totally a Nikon user now I always had a great affinity for Minolta. The 7000i was the 1st AF camera I bought and it was the Dogs B......S! My next one was a 9000 and eventually a Dynax 9 x 2. When Minolta went belly up I changed to Nikon for the benefit of service and availability of spares, but I still hanker after the Dynax 9.
The Minolta F2.8/50mm AF was a lens that was way above all the rest with regards to quality. I have never used one so good since handing over ownership. |

When they were made they were groundbreaking cameras, My first AF was the 70001, followed by the 700si and they never let me down, and although these days I do not use cameras younger than 50 yrs old I still sometimes hanker after the Dynax system

My mistake when I said 2.8/50mm I actually meant the 2.8/20mm sorry about that. Fingers working faster than my brain!
