Just sold my Minolta Maxxum 3000i for GBP 4.00 plus shipping on eBay, 7 day listing starting with GPB 3.99

Don't know if that proves the answer to the topic to be "yes" or if it was an anomaly - it sure went for cheap. Came loaded with a new battery and rare film, together more than GBP 8.00 Sad

I think supply and demand work here. Minolta is an abandoned camera - no-one can provide adapters to alternate systems for either the cameras or the lenses. Miranda and a few others are in the same boat. And Rokkor never became the iconoclastic name to equal Leica, Zeiss etc. So there is not the demand driver (unlike say Exakta, which is also abandoned, but was itself legendary and drew third party lens makers of very high rep)

True, Peter. My point is that you can get very good film cams for almost nothing. And, the AF lenses work on Sony cams, don't they?
