I believe 'oldman' was specifically referring to the Minolta
Maxxum/Dynax line of AF lenses, which are compatible with the Sony AF
mount.

Yes, I knew that, and I'm watching several on ebay. But my brother had
also talked about using an adapter with the older MD lenses which can
often be had real cheap. No AF, and a few other compromises, but for
macro work, that's not an issue. Wouldn't use MD mount lenses to shoot
action or just walking around taking pictures.

And, the airshow is in Grass Valley this year (they alternate every with
nearby Auburn). My brother might come up for this. With his help and
advise I should get some shots worthy of posting!
