This group discusses manual focus Minolta gear, and is the ONLY Minolta group where you won't find ANY autofocus or digital discussion! We cover all of Minolta's manual focus cameras -- SLRs (with Minolta lensmount), rangefinders, TLRs, half-frames, 120, 126, 110, 16mm and even disc cameras. And with over 3,300 members, you'll get all the Minolta discussion you can handle! No need to waste your time with a bunch of small, marginal groups. In fact, we have TEN TIMES the discussion of all of the other manual-focus Minolta groups combined! And to top it off, our members are the most knowledgeable -- in ALL aspects of Minolta gear!

But we are MUCH more than just a discussion group. We have the ONLY website covering ALL of Minolta's manual-focus cameras and lenses -- no kidding and it's absolutely free. So, if you love Minolta, but have NO interest in autofocus or digital, this group is for you!

You don't need to be a member to view our discussions -- unlike other groups. So take a look at the past messages and decide for yourself if we are right for you. If you join the group (absolutely free and no approval is needed), you enjoy several benefits. First, you'll get all of the new discussions sent directly to your email -- no need to manually check for messages on the board. More important, you can ask questions and post responses to the group. Also, you can join in our on-line chat room, or visit our in-depth website, MINMAN at http://members.aol.com/manualminolta/index.htm. There are other benefits as well. So take a look and spread the word. It's all FREE and very informative.

Please note that we have three rules in this group:
A. Any message must relate to manual-focus, Minolta-type film cameras -- their use, accessories and techniques.
B. Buying, selling, trading, or auctioning are not allowed, but are available for free at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MinMan-SWAPMEET.
C. Rude messages are prohibited.
