Minolta SR system

The Minolta SR system is a camera system based on single lens reflex camera bodies for full frame format 24×36mm on 35mm film, and on the wide range of lenses for the cameras' lens mount, the Minolta SR mount, which was evolved from a simple bayonet mount to similar mounts which included more and more means of aperture control.
