History:
The Minolta SR-T 101 is an iconic 35mm SLR camera produced by Minolta Camera Co. Ltd, Japan. Making its debut in March 1966 at the Japan Camera Show, the camera's body is a continuation of the Minolta SR-7 model V, released in 1962. SR-T 101 has always been regarded as an innovative camera; it was a leap forward from the SR-7. Offering TTL metering and full-aperture metering in 35mm SLR cameras- pioneered by the ingenious Tokyo Kogaku Topcon RE Super. It wouldn't appear in a screw mount camera until Olympus Kogaku introduced the Olympus FTL, their first full-frame 35mm SLR, in 1971. Over the course of the ten-year manufacturing period of the Minolta SR-T 101, numerous changes were implemented to the body. Many of these changes are easy to spot, and they can help determine the time of manufacture.
