Sad day in the history of photography
by jonnysnakes January 19, 2006 9:19 AM PST: Minolta and Konica were superb brands and made superb products. During my childhood, all my family pictures were taken on a Minolta SLR, and they were quite possibly the best pics I have seen from that era. RIP, old friend. You will be missed.; Like this Reply to this comment
