[Leica] Re: Interesting (minolta stabilized sensor)

I'm not sure if Minolta even makes manual focus lenses anymore.   In any
case, the only way to use manual focus lenses on Minolta AF bodies is to
buy a third party converter which contains an optical element to allow the
lenses to focus to infinity and which are usually of a very low quality.
