Well, I have received the A200 and all of my old lenses mount. The camera
will only work in "manual" mode with the old lenses. In any of the auto
modes, it doesn't even see the lenses. None of the electrical contacts
are
in the right place. So, there must be more than 1 series of Maxxum mount
lenses. It would appear that my old lenses just became available.
