Produced by Minolta Camera Co. Ltd., this mechanical SLR introduced the world to Contrast Light Compensation (CLC) metering—a pioneering dual-cell system that ensures accurate exposures even in high-contrast lighting. With its massive, bright pentaprism viewfinder and rugged all-metal construction, the SRT 101 was a favorite of photojournalists and students alike throughout the 1960s and 70s. It utilizes the versatile Minolta SR\/MC\/MD mount, providing access to the legendary Rokkor lens ecosystem. Purely mechanical and built to last a lifetime, this camera remains a premier choice for those seeking a tactile and reliable analog experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eInnovative Contrast Light Compensation (CLC) metering for superior exposure accuracy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eRobust all-metal body construction designed for professional-level durability\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003eFully mechanical shutter—operates at all speeds even without a battery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003eLarge, bright viewfinder with center microprism for precise manual focusing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,4,0\"\u003eDepth-of-field preview button and integrated mechanical self-timer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,5,0\"\u003eWide ISO range support from 6 to 6400 for diverse film stock compatibility\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,6,0\"\u003eOversized, ergonomic shutter speed dial and smooth film advance lever\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: 35mm SLR Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 35mm (Standard 135 roll)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Minolta SR (MC\/MD compatible)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003eShutter Speeds: 1s to 1\/1000s + Bulb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\"\u003eCategory: Cameras ▸ 35mm SLR Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,5,0\"\u003eBattery Type: PX625 or equivalent (for light meter only)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/b\u003e \"The Minolta SRT 101 (S\/N: 2519497) is often the first camera I recommend to anyone serious about learning film. There is a weight and a 'thunk' to the shutter that feels incredibly substantial. Unlike many cameras that feel like electronics with a lens attached, the SRT 101 feels like a precision-engineered machine. The CLC metering system was decades ahead of its time, making it much more forgiving when shooting landscapes with bright skies. It’s a camera that doesn't just take pictures; it teaches you how light works. Even if the battery dies, the camera keeps shooting, making it one of the most reliable travel companions in the analog world.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The camera body (S\/N: 2519497) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its vintage age. The mechanical focal plane shutter has been tested and fires accurately across all speeds. The film transport and rewind mechanisms are functioning smoothly. The viewfinder is clear, and the mirror is in good condition. The battery compartment is clean and free from corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003eMinolta SRT 101 35mm SLR Body (S\/N: 2519497)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003eOriginal Minolta Body Cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Minolta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53925510381908,"sku":"B97W5196BG","price":99.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/IMG_5316_77d2e173-a33f-4ebe-8c03-029cc27294b1.jpg?v=1773327396","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/it\/products\/minolta-srt-101","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
