I'm not that camera literate so please excuse my jumping in here but I'am wanting to upgrade from a very basic digital to a DSLR. I have a Minolta Maxxum 7000 AF film camera that I bought in 1985. I have two lenses with this camera and have been told they will work with the new Sony A200 and you can guess I'm pretty happy about that. Some preceding comments have dised Sony lenses pretty bad so I'm wondering how do my Minolta lenses compare? I have a lens that says: Minolta Maxxum AF Zoom 35-70mm 1:4(22) then what looks like a dot with 49mm after it. The other lens says: Minolta Maxxum AF Zoom 70-210MM 1:4(22) then what looks like a dot with 55mm after it. Are these lenses going to give me better results than the lens that comes with the Sony A200. All comments appreciated. Thanks
