I owned a Minolta, and a Konica. My first Minolta complemented my large Honeywell Pentax H3 that I got way back in 1962. I wanted to tote a small camera with me all the time. The Minolta 16 fit the bill at the time. Much later, I got a Minolta CLE which was based on the Leica CL body. I still have CLE and use it once in awhile. I've own a couple of Konicas. The first was the Konica Autoreflex that let the user choose to shoot full frame or half-frame. My second Konica was there compact 35mm. Let's hope Samsung-Pentax will prosper.
