Ok, tested with dcraw 8.30 too. Work fine here. I close this file now.

Important comments about EXIV2 library:

Andreas, 

i have checked the header of the ARW file : because Sony alpha camera are based on Minolta Dynax 5D (Sony have buy digital Minolta Camera part in fact), the makernote are exactly the same than Dynax 5D (excepted new tags about some new options !)

Look on the files header provided by J. Westveer, there is a tag witch start with "MLT0" ! this is the minolta Makernote ID ! This can be very trivial to fix Exiv2 library to use Minolta makernote with all ARW files and JPEG files generated by a Sony Alpha camera...

This is want mean that we have 3 camera types witch use Minolta makernote :

- Sony Alpha.
- Minolta camera.
- Olympus camera.
