I remember seeing a few s/h Minolta AF lenses on offer in the AP a few weeks ago, and thought seriously about buying one of the shorter primes. They certainly didn't include exotic white lenses though! When I used Minolta exclusively for all my photography some years ago, the meagre supply of the more aspirational lenses, particularly the long teles, was one of the reasons that I found moving to Canon less painful than I feared. I had hoped that Sony would tackle this area of very high price and poor supply, (I bought a Dynax 7 last year.) but we're still waiting.
