Oh, look, the only person willing to carry on a conversation with you
now is Scarpitti!

Nothing wrong with Minolta. I've never used one, but I thought you were
invested in Canon, so I couldn't understand why you would want to do that.

From what I understand, Minolta aren't really offering a professional
system, plus Alan says that he battled to get the lenses he has, so I
would steer clear of them.

Sounds like a dandy deal, but I suspect it to be a rare occurrence.

It was. There's no ways I would have spent $4k for two used lenses and a
20-year-old body, but after seeing the results, I am looking for ways of
expanding the lens collection with more used stuff.

BTW, is that VR lens you got working as well as an IS lens?

Ha! That 70-200mm f/2.8 Nikkor VR lens is the best thing I have ever
owned. I go so far as to say that it exceeds all the Canon lenses I ever
used, with the exception (maybe) of the 400mm f/2.8L. It is definitely
better than the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS (waits for the sound of angry
Canon users).

I got my first set of photos taken with my Leica R4, 35mm Elmarit R and
180mm APO-Telyt-R back from the lab today. Wow!

Leica = General Motors
M-Series = Cadillac
R-Series = Cavalier

Figured you'd go for the junk. LOL!

Have you ever used the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS or any IS lens or are you just
saying that because it's a Canon lens (suppressing anger)?

Is it just me, or do we all feel that calling someone a moron in a sentence
that contains a spelling mistake is a little self defeating?
