[[Minolta]]'s SR-T series of [[SLR]]s was a huge success. The coupled match-needle meter visible thru a bright [[pentaprism]] viewfinder, paired with sturdy construction and reliable mechanics, were its characteristics. "SR-T" stood for "SR"-cameras (SR for "single-lens reflex") like its predecessors [[Minolta SR-2|SR-2]], [[Minolta SR-1|SR-1]], [[Minolta SR-3|SR-3]] and [[Minolta SR-7|SR-7]], but with [[TTL]] metering system (T for "TTL"="thru&nbsp;the&nbsp;lens"). With the first model of the series, the [[Minolta SR-T 101|SR-T 101]] of 1966 the [[Minolta SR mount|SR lens bayonet]] was modified for "MC"-lenses which transmit the aperture value mechanically to the camera meter's match-needle.

* Table "List of Model by Market; SR-T series" in Minolta SR-T service manual
  
The bulk of the information in this table came from "The Minolta SRT series" on a website once maintained by Dick Sullivan. The site disappeared somewehere around 2004. It was agreat point of reference.  In this page, years of release were added, the rating system he used was scrapped. Some minor rewording.

Latest revision as of 09:36, 3 October 2023

Minolta's SR-T series of SLRs was a huge success. The coupled match-needle meter visible thru a bright pentaprism viewfinder, paired with sturdy construction and reliable mechanics, were its characteristics. "SR-T" stood for "SR"-cameras (SR for "single-lens reflex") like its predecessors SR-2, SR-1, SR-3 and SR-7, but with TTL metering system (T for "TTL"="thru the lens"). With the first model of the series, the SR-T 101 of 1966 the SR lens bayonet was modified for "MC"-lenses which transmit the aperture value mechanically to the camera meter's match-needle.

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Sync terminal
    FP, X: Two separate sync terminals for FP and X
    FP/X: One terminal for both with additional switch
    X: X terminal only
  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 DOF preview
    locking: Push button locks when pressed and meter switches off, if lens with MC tab is used (no metering)
    non locking: Push button does not lock when pressed and meter does not switch off with MC lens (wrong metering)
    So in no case a stop down metering with a MC lens is possible.
  3. 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 Focusing screen
    MP: With microprism spot
    SI/MP: With split-image spot and microprism collar
  4. 4.0 4.1 4.2 4.3 Hot shoe
    No: Accessory shoe only
    X: Hot shoe for X sync only. Marked with red X
    FP/X: Hot shoe for X or FP sync, depending on switch setting. Not marked.
  5. Contrast Light Compensator system of two CdS cells
  6. 6.0 6.1 6.2 6.3 6.4 6.5 6.6 6.7 Body only: The full code no. of body only is the main code plus '-500'.
  7. 7.0 7.1 SR101s/505s: Top covers and code no. are known, but no production cameras. Since the code no. were later re-used for the SR-T 201/101b, it's very likely, that these models were never produced.
  8. SR-T 201 Ritz: Special model with the leatherette made out of the rubber focusing grip of the Rokkor-X lenses, sold through Ritz Camera stores exclusively.
  9. SR-T 100 (black): Sold through K-Mart
  10. SR-T 100: late edition with fixed ASA/DIN conversion scale and thicker film-advance lever cap
  11. 11.0 11.1 11.2 SR-T MC models: Sold through K-Mart and Hertie
  12. 12.0 12.1 12.2 SR-T SC models: Sold through JCPenny
