Minolta SRT 101 35mm SLR Film Camera with MD 50mm f/2 Lens

The Minolta SRT 101 is a beloved classic of the manual-focus SLR era — an all-mechanical 35mm film camera built to last, prized by film photographers for its rugged construction and reliable CLC (Contrast Light Compensator) metering system, which reads light from two segments of the viewfinder for more accurate exposures in tricky lighting.

This example is paired with the excellent Minolta MD 50mm f/2 lens, a sharp and versatile standard prime perfect for street photography, portraits, and everyday shooting. Fully manual operation — from focus to shutter speed to aperture — gives photographers complete creative control and a hands-on shooting experience that’s become popular again among film shooters looking to slow down.

With its horizontal cloth focal-plane shutter, full manual exposure control, and match-needle TTL metering visible in the viewfinder, the SRT 101 remains a fantastic entry point into mechanical film photography or a dependable addition to a working film kit.

Every camera we sell at Photodom is tested in-house to confirm it’s fully functional before it ships — from our Brooklyn storefront to your door.
