Hi all,
New here but been around cameras for nearly 50 years. Just recently started playing with film again and looking at an SRT100X with Minolta 35-70 f3.5 for a very reasonable sum from my local camera shop.
Its somewhat confusing what the difference is between the 100x and the 101. I know the 100X doesn't have a self timer (which doesn't bother me as I really shouldn't be in front of any camera lens) but what else is missing?
Thanks all. |

Welcome to he forum!
The SR-T 100X was introduced in 1977 and was the successor of the SR-T 100b, and as such it is a very late (last) model in the SR-T series of cameras.
Compared to the much earlier SR-T 101 (1966) as far as I know the differences are:
The 100X has no self-timer, the 101 does
The 100X has no mirror lock-up, the 101 does
The 100X doesn't show the chosen shutter speed in the finder, the 101 does
On the other hand the SR-T 101 doesn't have a hot-shoe for the flash but only a couple of flash-sync cable contacts, whereas the 100X has a flash hot shoe.

Thanks for the info!
Given none of those particularly matter to me I'm tempted to get the SRT100X with 35-70 (yes it's the final version).

Well, since they are at your local camera shop and the shutter works without batteries, I would simply try both of them and see which one has the best/most consistent shutter feel and accuracy. At an average 55~ish years old those shutter curtain cylinder springs can get a bit gummed up.
Or, if the price is good just go for the 100X mostly for the 35-70 lens (although a good condition 35-70/3.5 isn't very expensive by itself).
