Haven't even had a chance to clean up my new to me used black 201!
Film rails look pretty nice, as well as the shutter curtain. Speeds sound good too.

A beauty shot with my less worn 58mm mounted.

It's another 'rescued' lens from a Goodwill camera I bought some time ago.

New Copy Setup in Studio by Nokton48, on Flickr

I've been copying RC Silver prints in my Enlarging Room, with ambient LED lighting. I have decided to move my Minolta Copy Stand into the studio area, and leave it set up on a permanent basis. From Harbor Freight a rolling cart (I have several), with an Apple Box Riser on the top shelf, makes a strong base with wheels for the copy stand. Easy to move around as I please. Recently donated to me, a pair of Broncolor Impact 300J Impacts, with well used strobe tubes working perfectly, and a nice matched pair. Standard Impact Reflector, attached 3M Polarizing Filters on both lights. Camera for 35mm film is a Minolta SRT-101 with SRT Diopter Eyepiece Correction, SRT Cable Release, 50mm F3.5 MC Macro Rokkor, and 55mm Minolta Hooded Polarizing Filter. All filters set for maximum polarization, lighting balanced to 1/3 fstop with Broncolor Incident Strobe Meter. With Ilford PanF+ rated at EI 25, I'm at F16 without polariizer exposure correction, so I did a bracketed series at 1/2 stops to establish a good baseline. This is a pretty good setup I'm intending to leave up all the time, and it's easily movable.

I also intend to use the setup for copying flat art and I have a Skier Box for digitizing negatives with the same setup. This will evolve.

Minolta SRT is a reliable, simple camera. I picked up few from trash can, CLA is relative easy to perform and both 58mm f1.2 and f1.4 have pleasure bokeh

Love this camera View attachment 4851492

I, too, am a proud owner of a black SR-T 102. I even have that same 28mm lens.

My two favorite focal lengths are 85mm and 28mm. I have an 85mm f/1.7 early MD that I got new, and I have three 28mm Rokkors: 3.5 MC3, 2.8 MC3, and a 2.5 MC2.

Thanks for showing us yours!

80cm F8 Rokkor Manfrotto Ballhead SRT MLU TX800 by Nokton48, on Flickr


The idea here is my ongoing interest in telescopic photography. A vintage Minolta Black SRT-101 with Mirror Lockup, on a Manfrotto Ball Head, and Manfrotto legs. Shooting Tri-X fresh Bulk Loaded, exposing at EI 800, developing for EI 1600. The intermediate output in a 5x7 Grade 2 RC print suitable for digitally photocopying. Subjects will be Architectural in nature. Camera has SRT Eyecup and Diopter for sharpest viewing with old eyes. The 80cm F8 Rokkor has the original Yellow Filter installed as well.

My GrabNGo wide angle camera. I have not used it in quite a while. I have dusted it off and am looking forward to using it again. For when I get Jonesing for a rangefinder like experience.

SRT100 Butter Grip 100mm MC Bellows Rokkor Modern Macro Bellows by Nokton48, on Flickr

The Minolta SRT100 was a gift from my Parents, purchased new at the local shop. Used it all through High School, shooting Photojournalism at the time. Our School Paper won about twenty photojournalism awards from the National Scholastic Press Association. Here the Olde thing is equipped with a Modern Minolta Bellows, which works perfectly Auto Aperture, with the 100mm Bellows MC Rokkor. So it's about 1:1 to infinity reproduction, with automatic aperture. Camera has the "Butter Grip" easy to handle, SRT Eyecup and SRT Diopter. A good shootin' rig in a kind of unique setup. Here the lens is focused at infinity.

Can anybody here guess what skin is on this camera? Answer: Green Kangaroo

[Nokton48]

I had Morgan make up Alligator coverings for two SRT-100's, and I covered the two nice SRT100 cameras, one for each of my Sons.

Is this recently? I thought he was not trading any more.

 

[Nokton48]

Nope not recently. Website says to email him with what you want. I bought a lot of skins from Morgan. The B&W Cobra skin on my Kiev 6C was the bomb. I still have the Pentaprism.
