Nice cameras and lenses. I enjoy my Minoltas and think the quality is great (and underrated).
Enjoy it as a different experience from digital and even other types of film cameras - the distinctive sound of the shutter, taking time to finish a roll, and seeing you are competent enough to make good exposures without having to see them immediately.
For the SRT, I find using inexpensive 675 hearing aid batteries in this inexpensive adapter gives the 1.4 volts of the old mercury batteries and good exposures: http://www.paulbg.com/Nikon_F_meter_batteries.htm
