The Minolta SRT 101 is a 35mm SLR camera introduced by Minolta in 1966. It is the first camera in the famed SRT series of cameras. The SRT101 is a rugged, highly capable camera that has become popular with beginners, advanced amateurs, and professional photographers alike. There is a joke that you can shoot a roll of film with
an SRT and then turn around and use it as a hammer to pound nails; this solid camera would keep
on working just fine. It uses Minolta's MC/MD lens mount, offering a large library of lenses to choose from. The camera has a TTL meter, self-timer, and depth of field preview to round out its functions.

Minolta SRT 101 + 21mm f2.8 MC W.Rokkor-X Lens
The Minolta 21mm f2.8 MC W.Rokkor-X is a fast wide-angle lens for the Minolta MC / MD mount. Introduced in 1973, it features 12 elements in 9 groups and incorporates a floating element for high performance at all focus distances. In its day, it was one of the best ultra-wide lenses available in any system.
The Minolta 21mm f2.8 MC W.Rokkor-X has an assuring heft and feels very well built, with a nicely damped focusing ring. The all-metal construction matches the solidity of classic Minolta SRT bodies, such as this vibrant SRT 101 custom repainted in tangerine orange.
