AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

=^._.^=━━━━━━━━━Product Description━━━━━━━━━━=^._.^=

(Minolta SR-1 — What’s great about it)

Fully mechanical reliability: A classic 35mm SLR with a mechanical shutter—no electronics getting in the way of the “pure camera” feel.

Interchangeable-lens system (SR mount): Great entry into Minolta’s SR lens world, with lots of enjoyable lens options.

Practical shutter speed range: Covers everyday shooting well, from longer exposures to faster handheld speeds (plus Bulb).

Useful built-in features: Includes essentials like a self-timer and flash sync—solid, practical design for real use.

Classic Minolta character: Early SR-series styling and handling with a straightforward, no-nonsense layout that feels like a true tool.

=^._.^=━━━━━━━━━Item Condition━━━━━━━━━━=^._.^=

Appearance:
There are signs of use consistent with age and normal use, including scuffs and some paint wear/peeling.


Functional:
Tested. Shutter operation, shutter speeds, Bulb mode, and the self-timer have been checked.

Viewfinder:
When a strong light is shone through, very slight fungus can be seen. However, it is not noticeable during normal viewing and we did not notice any impact on visibility.

Focusing Screen:
There is slight corrosion on the focusing screen.


Overall:
In our opinion, this item would be around 91–92% condition.

=^._.^= ━━━━━━━━━KONEKO Camera’s philosophy ━━━━━━━━━=^._.^=


Catawiki requires a general condition grade (Mint / Near Mint, etc.), so we select the closest option.
Our personal rule is simple: “Mint” means truly unused / like new—so “Mint+++” is not a thing in our universe (if it were,

we’d probably have to invent “Super Mint Deluxe,” too). Condition labels can vary from seller to seller, and many buyers have experienced listings that sounded better than the item in hand. That’s why we focus on facts. Every item is carefully inspected, and we disclose the results honestly with detailed photos—no surprises, no magic words.

The grade is only a guideline; please rely on the description and images for the real condition. If you have any questions, we reply quickly and will do our best to help. Thanks for reading!
