this video is perfect! I inherited this camera from my grandpa who died back in the 80s. we never met but this was his camera and he cherished it! I recently decided to start using it, and this video taught me everything I needed to know to get started. I'm on my 5th roll of film now, and I'm hooked! thank you so much!!

@@v-g-z3689 Substitutes for PX-13 or PX-625 of 1.35v can be found on Amazon, or if you use a 1.5 v L1560 battery, the light measurement is probably overexposed in 1 or two steps, you would have to do some test roll to determine the degree of overexposure that this battery gives to always have it in mind when taking the photos.

Planning to get a Minolta SRT101 as my first ever SLR. This video so far has been so useful and informative to me. Can I ask what’s the purpose of the mirror? The mirror lock-up and such? And how and why should I operate/mind it? Thank you!

@photographyandmore 3 года назад

HI Ashal, The purpose of the mirror allows us to see through the viewfinder the image that enters through the lens. When we press the shutter button, the mirror rises and lets the light pass directly onto the film to record the image. Mirror lock is only used when taking long exposures.

If the indicator needle is stuck pointing at the top of the frame, is there any other way to tell how the battery is doing? I need to take mine for a cleaning and repair but in the meantime, I have a separate light meter and would like to continue to shoot with it. What do you think?

Hi! I hope you can help me! My boyfriend bought me this camera for Christmas and I’m super happy with it (your video was so useful btw, thankyou!!) but I don’t know which battery I need to buy. The battery that sat in the camera from the previous owner was a 625PX with 1,35V(olt) but on the internet, I can Only find batteries with 1,5V. Does this really matter? Which battery do you use?

@photographyandmore 3 года назад

Hello Lina, Actually is too hard to find 1.35V batteries now, you can use 1.5v battery but you should consider the following: Because it is a slightly higher voltage value, the measurement on the exposure meter will be overexposed, perhaps one or two Exposure values, so you will have to make a compensation when taking the photo, with a little Experience you will know when you reveal the film how many steps it overexposes with that battery.

You would use 35mm Film.There’s many options on the market and you can usually find good bundle deals. Remember that unlike a digital camera, you choose your ISO with the film you buy and it can’t be adjusted like a digital camera . So essentially certain films work better with certain surroundings .

Hello Roger, All lenses that have a mount known as MC or MD are compatible. The lens mount, contrary to common belief, is actually called the “SR” mount, not the “MC” or “MD” mount. The terms MC and MD relate to different series' of Minolta lenses, with different features. All of the lenses, however, use the SR mount.

Hi Jorge, You can try cleaning the terminals in the battery chamber if this doesn't work take it to a specialized technician.

Hi Angelo, That sounds like a mechanic issue, I suggest take the camera to the service center.

@emilygarrett4845 4 года назад

thanks for the video! when you;re setting the shutter speed and advancing the film in the camera, is that film unable to be used for pictures?

@bentuinstra4441 3 года назад

Correct - because the film has already been exposed to light. Once you close the door, you can advance the film so that it is unaffected and ready for taking a photo.

Any legit link to get this camera? It seems like everyone on ebay and mercari is selling crappy non functioning SRTs.

@TheFrank0119 4 года назад

I would say your best bet is through offer up. I managed to buy 2 Minolta SRT nerd for 30$ (both fully functioning)
