Camera and (happy) coffee

Gosh, it has been ages since I've seen a Minolta SR-3.

In the good old days now long past I had an SRT-101. I bought it 1974 in Sydney from a Swedish friend who had picked it up duty free in Stockholm. I recall I paid AUD $150 for it. Dragged it all over Asia with online lens, the 50 1.4. Later on I acquired an adapter to use Pentax Takumars and Hanimex bottle bottom glass lenses on it, but I found the images the latter lenses made weren't really up to the rendering of the Rokkor.

I sold many photos taken with that 101. It lasted til' the mid-1980s when I traded in a lot of gear to fund a Leica M2.

Both cameras I still wish I had kept.
