I've recently swapped my Canon G1 for a Minolta Dimage 7, and I'm left with some very nice accessories:

- Tele Converter TC-DC58
- Wide Converter WC-DC58
- special adapter barrel for 49mm lenses
- incredible Speedlite 420EX flash

... looking to sell. ... Mike

If only you had done the reverse... looking for the Tele lens for my Dimage 7. ;-)

Daniel, that's a hoot. But wait: the 7 has a 200 mm equivalent zoom built in; I don't think I'll ever really want to purchase the tele for it.

So how do you like the Dimage? It is one fantastic camera, although I haven't been able to overcome it's portrait-length auto-focus jitters.

I have a G2, so i think they are compatible. How much you looking to sell them for?

Egads! A response!

Yes, they are compatible; same barrel threads, specs for the flash hotshoe, etc. I will get back to you: I have to dig up my receipts and see how much pain I can take... ... Mike

I would be interested in some of those accessories as well, price willing of course. When you dig up those reciepts, put up some prices, then we'll talk again.

I am hoping to find those tomorrow... . It's been nutso busy. I will post ASAP. Having a lot of fun with my Minolta, but never seem to have enough time to really put it through its paces... ... Mike

It's unthinkable that I have let this post go since Christmas Day! Sorry about that, gentlemen, but trust me... you wouldn't want to hear my reasons for being so tardy.

I am happily addicted to my Minolta Dimage 7, and still have the accessories that I bought for the Canon G1 late last year. Note that they were barely used, and I upgraded to the D7 with a couple of months of buying them. Here's a price list:

Tele Converter TC-DC58. Paid: $200 Cdn / $130 U.S. Asking: $120 / $75

Wide Converter TC-DC58. Paid: $300 Cdn / $200 U.S. Asking: $180 / $112

420 EX Speedlite Flash. Paid: $400 Cdn / $265 U.S. Asking: $250 / $156

Lensmate and StepRing: $20.

These doodads all fit the newer G2 as well.

Note that I checked around for current U.S. prices on the web, and this list reflects those prices... .

If anyone is interested, please lemme know, either here or vial e-mail at [email protected]. ... Mike

Daniel, I was going to ask if you'd stopped looking for a tele for your Dimage 7, since the camera lens itself offers up to 200 mm on the zoom... but now I see that there is already a new Dimage 7i due out in April with a whole bunch of improvements and added features. Time to trade up!

BTW, I still have those Canon items for sale. ... Mike
