Minolta SRT 101 Black with MD Rokkor 45mm f/2 - Good Condition | The Mechanical Workhorse

The Minolta SRT 101 is a legendary mechanical SLR, renowned for its rugged "tank-like" build quality and the innovative CLC (Contrast Light Compensator) metering system. This black-bodied version offers a professional, understated aesthetic and remains a favorite among film students and seasoned photographers alike for its fully manual operation that works even without batteries. Paired with the compact MD Rokkor 45mm f/2 "pancake" lens, this kit provides a streamlined, lightweight setup that is exceptionally sharp. The 45mm focal length offers a slightly wider-than-normal perspective, making it a perfect companion for street photography and daily documentation where portability and optical performance are paramount.

Specialist Note "The SRT 101 is one of the most reliable cameras ever made. It has a tactile, mechanical soul that modern cameras simply cannot replicate. What makes this specific kit special is the 45mm f/2 Rokkor. It's Minolta’s famous pancake lens—it barely adds any weight to the body but delivers incredibly punchy and sharp images. If you want a setup that can survive a trek through the mountains or a day on the city streets while delivering professional results, this is it."
