Good morning; An interesting comment. Or is it a question? I am not sure. I do have one sample of the Minolta SR-T Super. I cannot state definitively which...
Can I shoot my SRT 101 without the battery? I have done this successfully recently with my Hi-Matic 9. I shot full length portraits without a battery and with...
Sure, the only thing the SRT101 uses batteries for are the meter. Shutter is all mechanical so it operates without batteries. So if you know what aperture and...
Good morning; Yes, the Minolta SR-T 101 will work without a battery being installed. The battery is the power source only for the Through-The-Lens (TTL) light...
Yes, it is a good way to learn how to read the light. With the latitude of modern film you also have more room for error. There is a saying that goes, "F8 and...
Thanx you guys. Apparently the Rangefinders perform well in low light. I must add that I have no desire to shoot street scenes. I just want to do full length...
Low light performance is dependent on film speed, shutter speed and maximum lens aperture. The SRT-101 can match anything the HiMatic-9 does in low light and...
The best answer I've ever read in a long time... -A good way how to read light... Photography is all about light... period; forget about all these new toys in...
You are correct. No single F stop and shutter combination will work all the time. With 400 asa film you would do well on most days. Film companies have...

Hi everyone, Hope this is ok to post here... You can see a list of my groups on Grouply at the link below. Maybe you'll find some you want to join. Edwin ...
Thanx for the answers. I shot the Minolta SRT 101 roll with 200 speed film and slightly lower light. I'm satisfied, but the focus and exposure were not nearly...
Hi from Sydney, Australia. I have just found this group while looking for manuals and joined up. About 32 years ago, my parents bought me a Minolta SRT 303b...
Sorry, I cannot help you with the Rangefinder; I've never had this type of camera, I prefer SLR or DSLR. Maybe mpink2002 can hep you, I think she has a...
I have several rangefinders but I searched this post and missed the original camera mentioned. I see just SLRs mentioned. Rangefinders can have wonderfully...
No, it's not true that a rangefinder has greater light gathering capability than the SLR. Light gathering capability is strictly based on the speed of the...
Ah! Chuck, The 58mm f1.2 very fast indeed, very heavy also. and can get to be tired some after a long time shooting... but, what effect you can get with,...
Hi all, Last week I bought an X700 off ebay. It looks like it has been sitting in a pretty dusty area for a while and the focusing screen has yellowed. Also...
Since you're only looking for a standard screen I would guess that there are lots of them laying about in bashed up junker bodies. I'd try a repair shop that...
Hi all, have just bought a mint A-5 (needed new light seals of course) and have run one film through it but don't have it back yet. My question is that because...
