| View Full Version : For $15.00 US I bought.... Dave Wooten 11-21-2007, 09:32 PM Minolta SRT 101 black 58 mm 1.4 all in original case with manual, looks like it just came out of the box. Nice heavy metal camera, sweet glass, it's mine. Thrift store purchase, I really needed a good suit, did nt need the camera, it is mine, I really like it.:) thebanana 11-21-2007, 09:40 PM Can't take photos with a suit:D Nice score! JLP 11-21-2007, 09:41 PM Dave, For that price it's no problem to go naked :p jan Craig 11-22-2007, 12:21 AM I thought I got a good deal when I picked up a Canon F1 with 50 1.4 for $100 in similar condition. I was ripped off! jd callow 11-22-2007, 02:56 AM I bought one of my nephews an F1, 50 f/4 & motor drive for ~200.00. At some point it becomes theft, but I'll rot in hell for far worse than paying 15.00 bucks for an SRT. Richard Mendales 11-22-2007, 04:05 PM I just snagged a Nikon-mount Tokina 50-200mm F3.5 lens, in beautiful condition, for $5.50. I don't know whether to be thrilled or despondent on how little such good MF equipment will fetch these days. Best, Richard Christopher Walrath 11-23-2007, 03:44 PM Good on ya Dave. Now get me a 503CW for under $300.00. wheelygirl 11-23-2007, 08:49 PM Hey, Dave! Congrats on being a proud owner of a Minolta SRT 101!! I, too, own one of those great "tanks"! :p I so love my "Minnie"! mjs 11-24-2007, 11:08 PM Identical to my very first 35mm camera and lens, except mine was chrome. I paid $47.50 or thereabouts at an estate auction about 10-15 years ago or so. Lovely camera. Absolutely wonderful lens -- try portraits close-up wide open. What a sweet camera!
