MINOLTA SRT 101 + MC Rokkor-PF 55mm F1.7, tested and working. Hello from Japan! We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world. The Minolta SRT-101, introduced in 1966, is a classic and robust mechanical 35mm SLR, famous for its through-the-lens CLC (Contrast Light Compensator) metering and excellent build quality. It uses the Minolta SR (MC) mount and is offered here with the MC Rokkor-PF 55mm f/1.7 standard lens, a fast and well-regarded optic from Minolta's own Rokkor line — a beloved, fully manual film camera. Important — please read carefully: The lens has haze and cleaning marks, and the top shutter speed runs slow. Please review the photos and consider this before bidding. Condition: Used — Good Pre-owned, heavy signs of use, or minor optical flaws Serial Number Please check the photo. Appearance Scuffs and scratches from normal use. Please check the photos for details. Optical Condition Haze: Haze and cleaning marks on the rear element, and cleaning marks on the front element of the MC Rokkor-PF 55mm f/1.7 — may reduce contrast or soften images. See photos. Finder: Clear Functional The camera operates properly — shutter and film transport work. Shutter speeds measured about 1/0.8s at 1s and 1/56 at 1/60 (accurate); 1/1000 runs at about 1/574 (about one stop slow). The meter works and reads about +1.3 EV at EV12 and +1.0 EV at EV15. The light seals have been replaced. Measured Performance We check these cameras on a shutter tester rather than by ear, and we publish what we measured: - 1 s — measured 1/0.8 s (approx. 0.3 stop slow) - 1/60 — measured 1/56 s (approx. 0.1 stop slow) - 1/1000 — measured 1/574 s (approx. 0.8 stop slow) - Light meter accuracy — EV12: 1.3 OVER / EV15: 1.0 OVER Negative film has enough latitude to absorb deviations of this size, but the figures are here so you can judge for yourself. Servicing This camera was serviced by us before listing: - Light seals (foam) replaced Known Issues 1. Haze and cleaning marks on the rear lens element, plus cleaning marks on the front element — expect some loss of contrast or softness, especially against the light. 2. The 1/1000 speed runs about one stop slow (measured about 1/574); the other speeds are accurate. 3. The meter reads about +1 EV bright; negative film absorbs this.
