Hi Dan and Detlef,

You will not be surprised that I totaly desagree with you.
(BTW I have already own 3 Minolta + complete system, 3 CONTAX + complete
system,
7 NIKON + complete system and 5 LEICA-R + complete system, + LEICA-M +
complete system)
There is a difference and the most obvious is with Minolta and the cheape=
st
Nikon lenses.
