Originally aimed at serious amateur photographers, the SRT-101 has all of the features you could need in a manual SLR camera. Build quality is legendary (both inside and out). No surprise that Minolta sold a million of them.

Released to compete with similar cameras of the era (e.g. the Canon FTb), the SRT-101 is part of a small group of cameras manufactured with build quality in mind, rather than the use of cheaper components.

With a solid metal body the camera can operate without batteries (only the light meter needs them). It has one of the largest and brightest viewfinders in an SLR (that puts many later cameras to shame), making it great for composing your photos and capturing great images.

Pushing the shutter button is particularly satisfying, with a lovely smooth release movement.

The viewfinder has a display of shutter speed at the bottom, with the right side having a needle that indicates if exposure is correct. Simply change the shutter speed or aperture to align two needles and set the correct exposure.

The camera’s light meter measures exposure through the lens using twin sensors for accuracy.

There is a huge range of Minolta lenses of different eras that can all be used on this camera.

The camera has a depth-of-field preview button so that you can check before taking photo, plus a self-timer.
