Rent NowThe Minolta SR-T 201 is a classic, mechanical 35mm SLR camera renowned for its rugged reliability and fully manual operation. Built with a solid metal chassis and an attractive chrome finish, it uses Minolta’s iconic MC/MD bayonet mount, providing access to a vast lineup of Rokkor lenses. It features a built-in TTL (through-the-lens) match-needle exposure meter powered by CLC (Contrast Light Compensator) technology, which balances high-contrast lighting for accurate exposures. Because its cloth focal-plane shutter is entirely mechanical, the camera can operate across all shutter speeds from 1 sec to 1/1000 sec without battery power, making it a timeless choice for film enthusiasts and photography students.
