Early last week, I bought:

Earlier this past weekend, I bought:

Yesterday, my brother and I bought:

Got an even BETTER deal (to the tune of $320 off retail). Arrives next week.

Almost as bad as Frank and his toolboxes

That'* so funny............NOT!

Hey Jerry I have the Minolta SRT 101. So you decided to get another 35MM. I haven't touched the Nikon F90 in years. I think there'* still film in it from when you took picture with it.

You are obsesed my friend.

what lenses are you getting?

I have a 1973 Yashica with a couple lenses I am looking to get rid of if you are interested. Comes with a case, case for the larger lense, and some other little extras.

^ygpm!


edit: Hans, I already have a gamut of Minolta Autofocus glass that carries over to Sony DSLRs. Sony bought Konica Minolta'* DSLR division in 2005 or so and is carrying on their lens mount.

On the A700 I'll be using:

Minolta 50mm f/1.7 prime lens
Minolta 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5
Minolta 70-210 f/4 "Beercan"
Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 EX DG
Tokina AF193 19-35mm f/3.5-4.5 super-wide angle

Geez..for a minute I thought you were gonna talk about the car..lol

I'm liking the Sony a700. Speaking of talking about his car, I guess with the new alternator is runing spick and spanish?

I need to find film for my Dad'* old Polaroids. Maybe see if I can talk him inot letting me have them. They're just gathering dust in a cabinet, haven't seen daylight in years.

I used to have a Minolta like that. Not the same model I'm sure, but those old ones built in the 70s. I kind of miss the old manual way of taking pics.
