Happy SUNday! – Minolta Madness

A couple of Minolta 35mm film cameras for your Sunday morning viewing pleasure.

Purchased in the summer of 1975 and still going strong.
Purchased in the autumn of 2000. It’s hard to believe it’s been 23 years!

Do you have an all-time favorite Minolta camera? Do you still have it? By the way, I’ve put both of these classics in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com. Thanks for stopping by, Chris

The Minolta SR-T 102 was a 1970s ‘superstar’!

In some circles, it was the best 35mm SLR for the money, and you were buying into a well-established SLR system with excellent Rokkor lenses. Maybe not as well thought of as the Nikon F and the Canon F-1, but certainly much more affordable. Here is a beautiful example of this model I recently purchased from its original owner – complete with the factory boxes, too!

Gorgeous 1970s tech.
It looks and operates like new!
Mint condition Rokkor lens, metal screw-in Vivitar hood, and a 55mm Hoya Skylight (1A) filter.
Beauty shot.
An excellent working exposure meter to go with the all-mechanical shutter. Classic.

This gem is available in my Etsy camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com. Thanks for stopping by, Chris
