Re: suggested student cameras?

To my thinking, what makes the Minoltas an attractice choice is the ready
availability of first-rate third-party lenses in bayonet mount, for a
song--typically about half the K-mount versions, when you can find them.
Almost anytime I want, I can find in Minolta mount a Soligor CD 135/2 and
CD 100/2; Vivitar Series 1 28/1.9, 135/2.3, 200/3, and 105/2.5 1:1 macro,
not to mention Kirons, at what we would consider giveaway prices ($70 to
$150 each).

More than once, I was tempted to acquire an X-370 or X-700 just to get such
lenses quickly and cheaply.
