Konica Minolta
In 2003 Minolta joined forces with Konica. The Konica Minolta DSLRs 7D and 5D and the first series of lenses for APS-C image frame format probably were already developed by Minolta. The last camera of that series was the Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 of 2006. From then the whole system was continued as digital camera system, as Sony α system, i.e. its DSLR and SLT cameras. Sony's system comprises two high-end lens series, the G lenses and the Zeiss lenses.
