I am an old Pentax guy, but I have to admit that when I, in the course of trading, picked up an SRT 101 and 102 a few years ago they impressed the heck out of me. The fit and finish plus the smooth operation , plus the truly excellent (for the day) implementation just shows up most of the contemporary competition. The Spotmatic is a dead reliable camera but in comparison to the 101 it is very basic. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

Thanks a lot!
During the introduction of the SRT-101 I made my pictures with SR1 and SR1s, so not long after I purchased my first SRT.
In the seventies gone modernised to XE-1 and XD7, kept the lenses.
Have fond one again, for cheap now, and use it now and then (heavy metal day).
Old love! |

I couldn't believe my luck at the camera fair when I picked up the unmarked SR-T body and the guy asked for £2, he told me he'd bought it for the lens and wanted rid of the body. I've looked at them in the past and nearly bought one for £35, without a lens, because it's a camera that I've read about and learned of its reputation, and when I handled them it was apparent that it's a quality camera, and one that would match my modest collection of Minolta lenses. Even without having tried it yet I love it, just on the grounds of it being such a well made and designed camera. Is it any wonder that the big manufacturers are going retro in their new cutting edge digi cams when there's a legacy of great cameras like this ?
Maybe it's 'boys and toys' stuff, we do love and appreciate the simplicity of design when its tactile, when knobs and levers move with a satisfying metallic sound and feel, we love knurled metal rings and cold, hard, aluminium or brass. the SR-T is all of that, you've gotta love it. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

The amazing thing to me is how Minolta retained this basic camera for so many years, with some minor tweaks and model number changes along the way. I can't think of another one in the 35mm SLR area that remained basically unchanged for so long. Goes to show how good design makes for a lasting product. _________________ -Jussi
