Minolta SRT-101 Complete Walkthrough

Here's a video tour of my 1967 Minolta SRT-101. I bought this camera off eBay a few months ago, and after running 4 rolls through it, I've seen that it takes amazing pictures.

Hello, I have a SR-T Super and I was wondering how to take a double exposure. Great Video by the way much appreciated. Cheers homes.

@brownwise Thanks! Well all you have to do is make an exposure, and hold down the rewind button while cocking the film advance lever. The shutter will be cocked, but the film will stay where it is. After you take a double exposure (or however many you want, by repeating this technique), just advance the film again, and the rewind button will pop out and advance the film for you.

Where can I get a flash for it? And how much do they cost?

[master777999]

@TaisakuSangeki Just look on ebay. They're not too much, it really depends. Generally shouldn't be any more than the camera. You need a cold shoe flash with a wire. There's hot shoe flashes you can use, but you need to then buy a compatible wire, which might be kind of hard to find. Like I said, just check around on eBay.

Super helpful dude. I just bought a Minolta XG7 and its almost exactly the same as this SRT. You answered my question about the ASA. Thanks man!

I LOVED that camera! Bought one when I got my first job in 1973. It was stolen during a breaK-in at my home in 1996.

GOD... this brings back SOOOOOO many memories!

@master777999 Update: My camera now works perfectly and I've used it almost every day for over a month. I really love it. Thanks for the help. :)

@zaqgt5 A very common problem, maybe yours maybe not, is that a capacitor quits working. It's a $10 electronic part that costs $80-100 to have somebody replace it. This requires soldering. It will prevent film advance, sometimes lock the mirror up or 1/2 way up. A quick search for "35mm repair" will find lots of people and places that know how to fix this. There might even be somebody in your area.

You sure you didn't mean to say 625? I have a 101 and a 102 in front of me, both of which take a 625 cell :\

@master777999 It says (the manual) MPX625, that no longer are produced. But I used a standard button 625 cell and photometer works fine...
