Re: Recently acquired SRT101 & XG-M

The SRT101 was my first SLR and I loved it.  As I aged, focusing became difficult with my eyesight as the focus screen doesn't "snap" in as on some later cameras--especially with slower zoom lenses (which you probably wouldn't use anyway).

The battery was a mercury cell which gave good voltage, hence metering, stability, but are no longer sold at least in the USA.  I understand there is a sub that works reasonably well, but don't know what it is.
