Hmmmm....snicker, snicker..... I suppose he's partly right - Pentax's ME-F might have been first but it's 35-70 AF lens is pretty ugly to use. The Minolta 7000 was the first practical autofocus SLR.
I've been looking for a 50 mm AF lens for my Minolta 7000 - wonder if he'd sell his $6.95 lens "for the asking"?
