Minolta SRT 101 35mm SLR

Minolta SRT 101 35mm SLR - Outlet | Classic Professional Film Camera with CLC Metering — Mirror Lock-Up Issue

The Minolta SRT 101 is one of the most celebrated and historically significant professional 35mm SLR cameras ever produced — a landmark body that introduced Minolta's revolutionary CLC (Contrast Light Compensator) metering system, delivering more accurate and consistent exposure results than conventional centre-weighted metering in a wide range of challenging lighting situations. Built to professional standards with solid all-metal construction, a bright and clear viewfinder, and a fully mechanical shutter, the SRT 101 remains one of the finest manual focus SLRs ever produced. This example is offered as outlet — the mirror does not return after firing and requires servicing. A compelling find for an experienced repairer or collector. Serial number SR 3523736.
