I received the camera and it was well packaged and as described. The meter intermittently was not working the quit altogether. I shipped the item to seller and they found the problem. It was a cold solder. They re-soldered everything not just the bad one. The turn around was reasonable and excellent communication. I accidentally sent the camera with a roll of film that I was using to test the camera. They accidentally exposed the film but sent me two rolls to replace it. Now that is a classy way to handle things. Integrity. Thank you and looking forward to using this camera.

It'd be much better if that guy didn't inscribe his name in the top of the back. Evidently, he thought that he was going to be a photographer - but found out it was more work than he thought. I need to know how to get that off without hurting the camera or sending it in to KEH to replace the top. THAT would be EXPENSIVE! Lens needs a little cleaning, though. Otherwise, seems to be in excellant shape. Next time, DO NOT sell such items! Throw them AWAY!

The Minolta SRT series is a great manual workhorse. These cameras while now very old, are The perfect manual cameras for small format film shooters. There are some common problems with these cameras. CDS cells for the meter often come loose making the meters not work properly. The springs in the shutter often get a bit gummed up, making the shutter not work as it should. It will click, but mirror won't return. fix with CLA. While heavy, big and clunky, you can't beat a manual camera's operation. The Rokkor-X lenses are tack sharp, and inexpensive. Look out for aftermarket lenses, The Iris often will not work after this many years. The newest and the best, The SRT202 has some great features that we don't often see today, depth of field preview, and an X sync pc connection on the side of the lens mount and a hot shoe. Full information viewfinder with both the shutter speed, and aperture being displayed in the viewfinder. This is a huge deal! as Olympus OM1, Canon FTb, even the newer Canon AT-1 don't offer aperture display in the viewfinder.Read full review

the best reason I would purchase this model over the SRT101 is the focusing screen. It has a split screen in the center, making it much easy to confirm your in perfect focus
