Comments on: Minolta SRT102 — superior to the competition https://alphatracks.com/minolta-srt102-better-than-the-rest/ Sony and Minolta SLR Weblog Fri, 17 May 2013 05:38:47 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: rebecca oliver https://alphatracks.com/minolta-srt102-better-than-the-rest/#comment-26366 Fri, 17 May 2013 05:38:47 +0000 http://alphatracks.com/archives/27#comment-26366 I bought my first real camera in 1973 and it was a minolta slr 101. I loved it and did black and white photos( of course) with it. Somehow it disappeared as my 20’s moved on, most likely I gave it away, as I inherited my mother’s mania for giving away everything she owned.
When I hit 32 ,I bought a used minolta 102 , which I still have and I have spent over a hundred dollars having it repaired . It was my only camera until I bought a digital in 2007. I miss black and white darkroom work.
ps Do you happen to know what battery my minolta uses as it just went dead?

I took many shots with this camera and hand held a night shot, yep like being in the war again take a breath and hold and squeeze, but they turned out fine.

Fast forward to 2009, the leather case is shot, the camera and lenses needs cleaning, who does that or can I acquire something myself from a store?

Put up with more abuse then any other ive owned. I carry a 102 as my primary with a 101 body as a backup and secondary. I recently gave up the rest of my digital photography in favor of these “thinking mans” cameras. I get as many great shots from 4 rolls as from 4 gigs in my digi. After waiting for so long for digital to arrive in force Ive gone back, regressed some of my friends say. Ill be sticking with my srt102 for quite some time.
