Chapter 1
Foreword
As noticed by many photographers around the world Minolta produces high quality products for photogra-
phers. What they lack are people capable of writing documentation of reasonable quality.. .
After hearing many discussions like: “My camera of this brand is much better that your of that brand!”
and after seeing many master-pieces of photography shot with some of old all-manual cameras the point I
feel as the most important is to get acquainted with the camera you already have (unless it’s really crippled)
and to know exactly what it will do under (almost) any situation and how to make it do what you need and
want. I hope that this guide will help us at least a bit to have our Minolta cameras working in this manner.
