Minolta SRTMC-II + 58mn F1.2 MC Rokkor-PG

[daveinpasadena]

This is a Minolta SRTMC-II with a fast 58mn F1.2 MC Rokkor-PG lens. This setup is a thing of beauty made in glass and metal. The SRTMC-II was a late SRT series camera body, yet it is a solid, all-metal machine and this one is in near mint condition.

The lens is in excellent condition optically, with some signs of careful use cosmetically on the metal parts. The meter is working and accurate. I've not shot with the 58mm F1.2 MC Rokkor, but looking at photos on the Web taken with it, and knowing what a serious company like Minolta can do optically when they create something like this, I have little doubt this will be an awesome lens. Price: $180 plus insured shipping.

Thanks, David ([e-mail])

(I may unbundle the camera from the lens if there is interest)

Hey Dave ( nice looking camera BTW). You are obviously a knowledgeable person concerning the cameras you have to offer. Why not contribute a little more to the board? Maybe join in the odd discussion now and then?

I paid $68.00 for an immaculate Black SRT-SUPER from ADORAMA last year with the same lens. Guess I got a good deal?

$60 is quite a good deal of course especially from Adorama. One of these lenses from Henry's Camera just sold recently for $200 on eBay ($201 I think it actually was) -- somewhat better cosmetically though. There is quite a range of price so I am open to offers if they are reasonable.

Regarding posting on the site, I've found this forum a little slow moving compared to RangeFinderForum (my usual abode), but I did start a thread on Praktina's recently (of sorts). They are my collecting interest -- or one of them at least. I'll do my part to try and invigorate it a bit -- the overall layout and feel of the "Camera Collector" reminds me a lot lot of successful forms like RFF in their early days!

One suggestion: I know how to use external servers to decorate my posts with photos, but perhaps some others don't. The classified section would work better if it was simpler to attach photos directly.
