I have long wondered why Minolta never came out with more
cameras that used that system. IIRC, there were 3 in total, the
Freedom III, the Freedom DL and I think the Maxxum 5000 used it
too.
It was the best answer I saw to the complaint about 35mm being
hard to load from when I was doing the APS pre-development
surveys.
