The Minolta SRT series are some of my all-time favorite film cameras. They're simple, straightforward, all-mechanical, and the best part - get to use that excellent Minolta glass. I usually teach a photo camp for teens in the summer, and I have a whole box of these I use for that. They're always a hit and produce consistently great results due to their unique and effective metering system. These cameras were produced from 1966-81, so they're are a billion of these out there. In this episode I go through the entire history of the SRT series. My recommendation is to grab a 102 model with split-image focusing, mirror lock-up, and full-info viewfinder! Their simplicity is refreshing.
Also want to give a shout out to Howard Sandler for this episode's featured photo of the Ottawa River - shot with a Koni-Omega Rapid 6x7 rangefinder on Rollei IR400 film. Beautiful work.
