Hi, I've been using Minolta gear since about 1975 when a guy in london Camera Exchange sold me an SRT101 with a 58mm f1.4 lens, not a bad introduction to photography with SLRs, since then I've got a copy of most manual focus Minoltas and two AF7000s and an AF9000 with a range of AF lenses, also two digital Sony bodies which use the same lenses.

Welcome Mike. You’re gonna find a decent number of fellow Minolta fans here. Me included.
Have fun!

Not tried an XE-5 I've got an XE (Japanese version of XE-1 or 7) only just got it so not put any film through it yet I need to do light seals and re-cover it first.

Welcome! My first SLR was a Minolta SRT101 with 58mm F1.4 in 1970. Had that camera until late 1990s.

Greetings and welcome. My first digital was a DiMAGE 404 4mp that I still have. It took pictures that looked very good at 8x10 and used 4 AA batteries.
