Meet the family...

Meet the family...

As most of my friends know, these days I shoot with a Sony a350 DSLR. However in the days of film, my tools of choice were manual Minoltas. And I have been collecting them since…

Several of the ones you see here have been in active use in my hands over the years, and some I’ve just bought (and am still buying…) to complete the series. Some of them have particular significance… The first SLR camera I bought with my own money was the XG-M and the best quality camera that I ever owned (bar none!) was the XD-11. Probably the rarest in this set is the XK. The 5D is the odd-one out in the series as it was my first digital but it has a token place here as my first DSLR and the precursor to the Sony that I use today, since Sony bought Konica-Minolta.

So in this family portrait is my collection. Top to bottom, left to right:
SR-1, SR-7, SRT101, SR-T Super, XK, XE-7, XD11, XG-M, X-700, Dynax 7000i, alpha-9xi, Dynax 5D
