Got me a Minolta SRT 102

[dennis0311]

When I first joined this site all I had was a Minolta SRT SC-II. Now I have 10 manual focus Minolta SLR bodies. I will say my Minolta XE-7 is my favorite. I do enjoy the SRT series though. From my simple SRT SC-II to my resent purchase of a Minolta SRT 102. The 102 is the top of the SRT line. It has more features than the other SRTs. After some cleaning and lubercation I got this camera working perfectly. The SRT 102 was produced from March 1973 (month and year I was born) till sometime in 1975. Some of them don't have the mirror lock up though. Mine came with the MLU. I would not buy one without it. I could write several pages on this camera but I am not. It's a great camera, all SRTs are great cameras. It don't matter what model you have. Going to put some film in this thing and take some pictures by the Suwannee River. Hope all of you have a great day.

I might just bung a roll of film in my old Kodak box camera and come join you (oh crap it takes 620 film)
post some of those pics after you take them so we too can enjoy the Suwannee River and above all.. have fun

Bob. 120 film is identical to 620 except for spool size. If you have two 620 spools it is easy to re-spool it. There are plenty of how to details on the net. Or if you only have one, the 120 spool can be trimmed with fingernail clippers to be used as the supply spool.

In the meantime congrats Dennis on your new camera, looking forward to seeing the pics as well.
