The Minolta SRT series, especially the 202, 303 and 500 are perfect for any beginner or amateur. There is a 10 sec self timer, hotshoe and memo holder on the back for those of us who forget what type of film we loaded. The camera is fully functional without a battery (except the metering system.) Flash sync (X or FP) is 1/60 th, and the cloth focal plane shutter on the SRT202 has a peak speed of 1/1000. There are available alkaline and silver-oxide alternatives, as well as a Wier substitute, and conversion adapters. Of course like most Japanese-made 70s era cameras, all SRT models require the now discontinued 1.35v mercury cell, or equivalent battery (PX625). Minolta made slight modifications to each subsequent model, however all SRT cameras include center-weighted metering using 2 CdS cells and a CLC circuit for control over various lighting scenerios match needle TTL metering stop-down metering is possible Depth of field preview and a meter switch under the camera for ON/OFF/BC (battery check) to improve battery life. They had been producing manual SLR cameras since 1958, but the SRT101 was the first with TTL (through the lens) metering. The SRT series of cameas are solid, top-notch performers that feature a proprietary bayonet mount for MC/MD lenses (Maxxum lenses cannot be used on SRT series cameras.) The Minolta brand lenses are excellent and there are many third-party lenses available for these cameras. Minolta introduced the fully manual SRT series of single lens reflex cameras in 1966 with the SRT101.
