@ParanoidGallows That must have been in the U.S. as well, because in Europe, Minolta used the name Dynax, or something like that. Nontheless, I think in Mexico Minolta presence must not have been that strong, since Dos Equis didn't sue them for their XX beer :)

They also got sued by Exxon for the overlapping X's in the word "Maxxum"

Yeah, and then Honeywell sued Minolta for autofocus pattent infrigement, and Honeywell won because the trial was in the U.S. And also, Minolta invested a lot of money in development of APS size film cameras. Two great and honest developments resulted in failure of the company. Sad story. Best lenses in the world though.
