Minolta SRT101 doin' a selfie

Thanks for the support guys, and the laughs. The exercise was a "one lens / one focal length" shoot and was a good excuse to try out one of my recent finds. So if I was going to include a pix of the camera - one that I was becoming to like more and more - I did this in keeping with the theme.
When this thing isn't sitting around admiring itself in mirrors, it comes up with this:

and this:

Hope to find a couple more lenses for it sometime.

Nice, my first SLR and my first camera that was stolen.

No wonder. Minolta is my base. Lenses, luckily plenty of them around, not only Minolta made. Look for Vivitar Series 1 or Tokina and if you like this camera don't miss XE-7 if you see one for sale.

Gateway camera for me. Bought a pristine 101+58/1.4 almost 20 years ago. Always loaded and always at hand, it documented my kid's childhood and our life till I managed to escape being a broke-ass grad student. Newer gear came and went but I still have it and a few Rokkors. Something of a holy relic for me that I'll not soon be parted with.
