About this camera.
A wonderful classic kit — the legendary Minolta SRT 101 paired with the rare and beloved MC Rokkor-PF 58mm f/1.4. The SRT 101 was Minolta's flagship through-the-lens metering SLR from the late 1960s, with full-aperture metering, a beautifully built all-mechanical body, and the same Japanese craftsmanship that made Minolta one of the great names in 35mm. The 58mm f/1.4 is the rare and sought-after first-generation Rokkor normal lens, famous for its dreamy rendering, beautiful bokeh, and warm signature character.

In short
For any photographer comfortable with a phone meter app or Sunny 16, the SRT 101 is otherwise mechanically perfect and the 58mm f/1.4 Rokkor lens alone is worth the price. A genuinely special kit for any vintage Minolta enthusiast or anyone wanting to shoot one of the most characterful normal lenses ever made.
