This will mark my third
Minolta Maxxum SLR. First was a 5000, then a 7000, and now I finally own the model I drooled over as a kid -- the 9000. It was pre-ordained I do thinks. I'll put the full story of their lineage up here when I get the chance.
My brand loyalty to vintage Minoltas is more built on sentimentality than any performance metrics -- although there's no denying that the original Maxxums were revolutionary cameras for the time they came out.
