Minolta experience...

12.109.186.150

I can't say that I've had a lot of experience with a wide range of Minolta products. My first "real" camera was a Minolta AL rangefinder (which I still have) that I had saved for over a period of about 6-8 mos. Made my folks drive me to K-Mart (YES, K-Mart!! they used to have a good photo dept circa 1963) so I could buy it.

Used that until I saved for my first Nikon which I purchased when I was 17 and I never owned any other manufacturer until I bought my M6 about 12 years ago. However, when I managed a photo store in grad school, I would take out sales samples & try them out so I could see how other brands worked & how different companies lenses performed. At that time, Minolta optics always performed well, seemed better color balanced than the Pentax products which seemed to render colors a bit green & Olympus which seemed a little blue.

The Nikon ED glass is really close to neutral while the M series glass is, of course, slightly warm (which I prefer).
