The Minolta SRT101 is one of those classic 35mm SLR cameras that everyone knows. Released in 1966, it offers both TTL as well as open-aperture metering, which wasn't all that common back then. Through an intricate system of cords and pulleys, the SRT101 couples aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings to the meter. The big viewfinder make it a real pleasure to use the match-needle metering system as well as compose and focus with the camera. 

Not only can we recommend these cameras to beginners with easy controls and very sturdy build quality, they're extremely reliable machines for the serious photographers as well.

This very nice example has been fully serviced and is ready to serve for many years to come. Internals were cleaned and relubricated and internal (around the mirrorbox) & external light seals were replaced. Shutter speeds and meter were checked and calibrated where necessary. Meter still runs on the 1.35V.
