Minolta A- mount system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The lens side of the mount. The Minolta A- mount camera system was a line of photographic equipment from Minolta. The system used a lens mount called A- mount, with a flange focal distance 4. The new mount was larger than the older SR- mount making old manual lenses incompatible with the new system.
The mount is now used by Sony, who bought the SLR camera division from Konica Minolta, Konica and Minolta having merged a few years before. The Minolta A- mount system was at first marketed as Maxxum in North America and О± (Alpha) in Japan and the rest of Asia. In Europe early Minolta A- mount cameras were initially identified by a 4 digit number followed by AF. The name Dynax was introduced later with the "i" cameras, the second generation of Minolta A- mount camera. It was originally based around a selection of three 3. SLR) bodies, the 5.
The system also included an extensive range of auto- focus lenses, flashes, a motor drive and other accessories. Compatible equipment was made by a number of third parties. In the following years, many different cameras and accessories were added to the range.
The last film- based AF SLRs produced by Minolta were the Maxxum 5. Dynax 3. 0 and Dynax 4. Maxxum 7. 0 (aka Dynax 6. О±- 7. 0). The Dynax/Maxxum/О± branding was also used on two Konica Minolta digital SLRs, prior to the acquisition by Sony (7.

The Dynax/Maxxum/О± lens mount (which was retained from the old cameras) is now officially known as the "О± mount system".[3]First generation[edit]The Minolta 7. SLR using a motor integrated in the camera body.
It was released in 1. The 7. 00. 0 featured one AF- sensor, shutter speeds of 1/2. EV in 0. 5 exposure steps, center- weighted lightmetering and two frames per second film advance. The Maxxum 7. 00. Maxxum. Exxon had a registered trademark for the crossed x's and sued Minolta, forcing Minolta to change the way the name was shown.
Main article: Minolta 9. The Minolta 9. 00. EV in 0. 5 exposure steps and a flash sync speed of 1/2. Unlike the 7. 00.
SLR with manual winding, but with the addition of the motor drive MD- 9. The 9. 00. 0 had a very extensive range of accessories, including several different backs, winding options and screens. The 9. 00. 0 had a unique function in that, if combined with the Minolta Data Receiver DR- 1. Minolta Flash Meter IV, readings could be made on the flash meter and transferred wirelessly to the camera, and the camera then triggered from the flash meter. The Minolta 5. 00.
Minolta's entry level camera and essentially a downscaled 7. It featured shutter speeds of 1/2. BULB, center- weighted lightmetering, exposure compensation of +1. EV, flashsync speed of 1/1. Second generation[edit]Main article: Minolta 7. This camera had the usual Program automatic exposure, Shutter priority automatic exposure, Aperture priority automatic exposure and metered manual exposure modes (standard on the 7. TTL autoflash (like the 7.
AF system, faster film advance, new flash hot- shoe that was incompatible with the older flash system (although an adapter was available and the 7/8. CG- 1. 00. 0 "flash handle" for backwards compatibility). The 7. 00. 0i supported the Maxxum lens system, and other previously introduced accessories such as the remote cords.
Perhaps more innovative and unusual than any other improvement was the expansion card system. While also used in other models in the i- series, some models in the xi- series, and the 7. Minolta Creative Expansion Card System debuted on this model. The expansion card system provided a way to add features to the camera, such as multi- spot metering, or re- program the built- in AE modes to favor faster shutter speeds or smaller apertures, such as the sports action card. While most of the cards' functions and effects could be duplicated by a technically knowledgeable photographer using the camera without the expansion cards, the card system was handy for less technically skilled users who just wanted to photograph their child's soccer/football team for example, without needing to learn about exposure settings and the effect they might have on how a picture "looked". These cards were the forerunners of today's "picture/creativity modes". This camera was aimed at the same market as the 7.
Main article: Minolta 5. Built- in flash with a zoom head, programmed AE and metered manual exposure out of the box, adding the A/S expansion card provided two additional AE modes, Shutter- priority and Aperture- priority. A fairly direct replacement for the earlier 5. Essentially added a PC flash- sync terminal, ME capability, spot metering and faster shutter to the 7. This camera was not a direct replacement for the earlier 9.
This camera was available in white as well, together with matched white 3. An entry level camera, exposure mode was program AE only, with a high- speed program option, no Creative Expansion Card support. An even more basic Maxxum, this camera was basically for the point- and- shoot user that wanted a system SLR camera with interchangeable lenses and more powerful flashes, but didn't want the features on, or didn't want to pay for the 5. Third generation[edit]An entry- level model, the plastic- bodied 2xi features a program mode (P- mode), Shutter priority mode (S- mode), aperture priority mode (A- mode), and fully manual mode (M- mode).
There is also a self- timer feature, a manual / auto focus switch for use with the series of auto focus lenses, hot shoe mount compatible with i and xi flashes, and a tripod mount. TYPE: 3. 5mm SLR with autofocus, autoexposure, built- in motor drive and flash.

Fourth generation[edit]This camera is known by several names and variations, it features full automatic program, and 5 preset programs. Manual control is not an option.
It has a prominent visible built in flash and was released in 1. ISO settings range 2. It is considered an entry level camera because of the lack of manual, shutter, or aperture, priority capability. The Minolta Dynax 5. European name) was introduced in 1. Budget version of Minolta Dynax 7. The Minolta 6. 00si Classic (aka Maxxum 6.
О±- 5. 07si), introduced in 1. This meant that the 6. The top plate of the camera included separate dials for exposure compensation, flash compensation, exposure mode and drive mode, and other functions were controlled by further knobs elsewhere. The advantage to the photographer was that almost all settings were readily identified even when the camera was not switched on - just like a classic camera. The 6. 00si did not have a P (panic) mode to reset all functions, nor was it possible to store favourite combinations of settings or use cards from the 7.
The 6. 00si could be used with the VC- 6. The 6. 50si was effectively a 6. Minolta Maxxum 8. VC- 7. 00 grip and 5. The Minolta 8. 00si, released in 1.
It can be seen as a stop- gap measure to fill the "semi- pro" niche between the 1. Dynax 7. This camera has a very high powered pop- up flash, one of the most powerful built- in flashes ever made.
The 8. 00si added a lot more features over its predecessor the 7. The 7. 00si's vertical control grip, the VC- 7. Fifth generation[edit]The Dynax/Maxxum/О±- 9, Minolta's last professional film body, was released in 1. The camera is constructed with a zinc and aluminium cast frame covered by SUS3. A vertical control grip (VC- 9) mirroring the cameras basic controls was available.
The camera had a maximum shutter speed capability of 1/1. The camera just preceded the release of the SSM (Super. Sonic Motor) lenses and D distance encoded lens/flash system, and as a result an upgrade was available in order to support the SSM lenses and D function.
This upgrade was in the form of a complete systems board, unlike digital cameras which are usually upgradeable by software.
