Yes, it would have been fine indeed! I haven't had the privilege of using Minolta gear, neither Nikon film gear, for that matter. Truth is that I used mainly compact 35mm cameras, Rollei and Minox, but for serious work only medium and large format. Later, also in the early 70's, I had some M3 Leicas, however which typically did not see service with slide films. There is so much equipment, which I should have kept for nostalgia sake! The portrayed Nikon F collection was gifted to me a few years back.
It is nice to have some reminders of the past, such as your Minolta gear!
