Konica/Minolta A2

[John_K]

I have just bought one of these to carry with me when I am riding my motor cycle. It came with a wide angle adapter (approx 22mm in 35mm terms) but I would like to get hold of the telephoto adapter as well but non of the usual suspects (incl E Bay)seem to ever get one in, any suggestions you guys

Have you extended your Ebay search to worldwide, you may find what you want in one of the Hong Kong stores.

You may find that the adapters for the A200 should fit (that is the KM A200 not Sony!!) the filter thread is the same, 49mm.

There are some 49mm 2x telephoto adapters about, not sure if they are specific to any particular camera, although one shop on ebay says their's are for another make.

Sorry there are non shown anywhere and I specifically want the Konica/Minolta one but I am prepared to wait. One will turn up eventually........

I think I may have found you one.

At $249, no way José, I only paid £50 for a KM A200, even the S/H lens at $133 is way over the top especially when compared with the equivalents from Ebay Hong Kong shops.

This is just an attachment, litle more than a filter, yet it's priced at somewhere near double the price of a Tamron 55-200 or 70-300 telezoom; anyone paying that sort of money for a tele attachment needs a serious reality check.

Whoever is selling it must be on something pretty strong! I only paid £159 for my A2, Wide converter and macro close up lens plus 2 spare batteries.

Do I have 'MUG' stamped on my forehead?
