For UK buyers, Morgan Computers are offering a range of Konica Minolta
film and digital items at extremely low prices.  Some are brand new,
but most are "as new" implying they are probably service returns.

Examples include:

Konica Minolta Dynax 7D 6 MP DSLR at £369.99 + VAT (£434.74 inc. VAT)
Minolta Dimage X1 8 MP compact at £129.99 + VAT (£152.74)
Minolta Dynax 404si 35mm SLR with 35-80mm lens at £49.99 +VAT (£58.74)

As usual, the Morgan site is difficult to search and there are other
"hidden" Konica Minolta items such as:

Minolta AF 75-300 f/4.5-5.6D zoom lens at £39.99 + VAT (£46.99)
Minolta AF 35-105 f/3.5-4.5 zoom lens at £29.99 + VAT (£35.24)
Minolta AF 28-80 f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens at £34.99 + VAT (£41.11)

The best place to start is the Konica Minolta page:
http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/shop/products2.asp?CategoryID=203&SubCategoryID=270

However, not all the items are shown on this page, and it is worth
clicking on the "more info" link under each item's photo to find
related items such as the lenses listed above.  There may be more that
I haven't found.

This would appear to be a unique opportunity to buy Konica Minolta
equipment at very low prices.  The lenses look especially tempting,
and the Dynax 404si 35mm SLR with 35-80mm lens looks a *steal*.

about 35-40% of the original price.

Thanks for that, Tony.

Just grabbed one of the 75-300 Zooms for about £55 all in. A good
saving compared to the £129 I saw one at on the 'net.

Like you say, extremely good prices.

Also, don't be put off by the indicated £10 +VAT delivery - at
checkout, I didn't get charged that much.

Cheers,
Chris

(55 <item>) + 10 <delivery>) + 11.38<vat> =76.38?

If you read my post correctly, you would have seen that I said I DID
NOT get charged £10 +VAT for delivery, and the cost was £55 ALL IN
ie. delivered and inc vat. Actually, was £55.80 in total charged to my
card. I don't have the exact breakdown of shipping cost.

Not being charged that much is relative.  some may not think £10 is that
much others would.

Are you being deliberately obtuse, or am I not using plain enough
English?

By 'I didn't charged that much', my meaning was that the amount that I
was charged for delivery was less than £10 + VAT.
