Re: Any Minolta film fans on the forum?

I still own and still occasionally use my SRT-102 and 58mm 1.4 Rokkor (with Kodak Portra 400).  Originally purchased it while in high school in the 1970's, and after owning an XD-11, an XK Motor Drive and many manual focus lenses, I eventually sold all but the SRT and 58mm (for sentimental reasons) and moved into AF via Nikon.  Then of course came digital, so I moved from analog Nikon to digital Nikon.  Today I use Panasonic Lumix and Leica cameras, but I really miss the feel of analog photography, which is why I enjoy occasional use of the SRT.

I'm really glad I still have it, but it's true that there are few on this forum that follow or care about the earlier Minolta manual SLRs.   They were truly great products, and Minolta was a very innovative company.   If you are on Facebook, you might enjoy the Minolta Collectors group.
