2 Questions about 2 Minolota Film Slrs

[Nokton48]

Jeremy,

That's a nice SRT-101, but no mention at all in the original instruction book, as to making multiple exposures, so I am fairly sure that the answer is -no-.

If you google search, you will find these instruction booklets online.

Only the SRT-202 will do double-exposures with the rewind button, according to the original instruction book. This was not a feature in the earlier cameras.

It works...

It works...

I've just tried it on my SRT 101 (ser. number 1701064) and it works. It takes almost 2 strokes of the wind-on lever to cock the shutter again and you have to hold the film rewind button in while doing this, otherwise the shutter can't be released for the second exposure.

You also have to hold the film rewind crank firmly, with tension on the film, so that there is no 'drag' on the film when the wind-on lever is used.

This sounds complicated to describe but is much easier to understand in practice.

Regards
Ernst

I know I've tried that before with my 100 and 101's, and it does work, sort of. You can still get -slight- forward advance of the film (maybe .5mm to 1mm), (sometimes) using the technique. But to non-critical double exposures (not requiring absolutely perfect frame registration) it will work, but for more critical multiple exposures, I'd still go with the SRT-202.

My seventeen year old son is taking a high school photography class, and wanted his own camera. We bought him a nice SRT202 and four lenses for $50 at a local camera show. Then we had the body -overhauled-.

You're right. It doesn't feel exact but it does seem to work approximately.
