Hello Luke, ... My Maxxum 7 has been trouble-free, and the same is true of the Maxxum 7s owned by a couple of other people who I know. In terms of other ...
I never left here, Tom....I had that AF 135 f/2.8 and really loved it. The all-time favorite zoom was the 28-135mm, too. Nice to know that I will be in good...

that is the kind of info I am looking for Magnus. I want to shoot the camera, not have it sit on a shelf. I was amazed at the quick focus of the M7 before...
I, too, sold my Maxxum 7 a while back, but never had any 'problem' issues with it. I'll stick to my assessment, from when I had mine, that the Max 7 is the...

I think the probability of Sony putting out a digital camera body using MD/MC manual lenses is close to 1% and a film camera is near nil. Better chance is you...
