First video tonight that isn't loud, and grating with awful noise (erm, music) looping in the background. Secondly, I have always wanted one of these compact cameras., I think I will get one, as a Christmas gift to myself. I really like how square / boxy they are, and from what i've read, they do too have good build quality. This, or the soon to be released Rollei 35AF from MiNT. The challenge will be ( if getting the legacy Rollei), is to get a clean (recently CLA'ed) copy, that I can take with me to Hokkaido in November. the best to you Jake.

IMHO, UTC offset numbers on the bezel would make for a better look than these city codes. Know your time zone by the UTC offset.

It looks like the Citizen Attessa, just not as fancy as the Hakuta-R.

Super Watch i have the same

Dude, don't wait until you drop the camera to get a strap! BTW, 35mm will never replicate the sharpness of a digital camera shooting on raw, but when the photo is printed and in the album, you won't notice the difference in definition. What you will notice is the difference in colour, tone, and expression. And you'll feel proud of the artistic achievement that went into creating the analogue photo.

PS... not make it your primary camera? Wait until you've learned how to process your own film. Then you'll only ever see digital as a backup! Film is an art form, digital is bread and butter. Like the difference between riding a motorbike and driving a family car!

7:03 I love the composition of this photo. Not only are the colours subdued and "retro" but the whole effect is really pleasing and homogenous. Well done!

OK, the battery is not an issue. Wein make 1.35 V replacement, they're readily available online. Otherwise a LR44 1.5 V battery will work fine. Some people moan that the light meter reads wrong, but it's in the order of 11% which is as near as dammit. I have a 303b which is under repair at the moment and the shop have lent me a 101 in the meantime. Both work fine with the LR44 battery in. I learned manual photography about 25 years ago with a Dynax 404si, probably not the best camera for that job as its controls are very similar to modern digital cameras, but I soon progressed on to a Nikon FE, which is very similar to the Minolta SRT line. You'll love it, having to manually focus, and set your aperture and shutter speed will help you learn so much, teach you how to manage light, and make you a much better photographer. Enjoy your journey!

Nice review keep it up ❤

I just used this camera for a boudoir session and got amazing results.

nice review~

Great review, do check the H820/H875 movements for something similar but replacing the chronograph for other complications

I also picked up a101 not long ago. I like manual cameras. You'll have fun learning how to do photography with film cameras.

if it is better to overexplosed 1ev when shot b&w film?

My favorite camera

I like it a lot. Is there a way to determine power reserve on this watch? I like a second hand for that but otherwise I don't need it.

Set the apeture and shutter speed,then match the infinity mark to the apeture you've set.Then you can read off the amount of distance that will be in apparent focus,fiddly on such a small camera but doable with patience....................................

Hi. Can you tell me where is it, specifically? thankyouu

SRT 101 was my first SLR camera, I purchase it in 1973 if I remember right. I use to developed B&W film and printed photos in my darkroom setup. Still have some prints and negatives.

Do you live in Japan?

New subcriber here. Enjoyed the video. The first image at 3:18 is my favourite one. It's just an ordinary scenery with those apartments. Nothing special or eye-catching. But there's the thing. Simplicity, lightning and sharpness in details. And using the yellow filter gives nice contrast and pops out the clouds in the sky.

What a wonderful video!! Beautiful⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yeah I was saying to myself that the pictures did look really grainy, that is what 400 will do in day light. I would shoot 100 and maybe 200. Could be your future videos will show this, I'm only up to part 4 so far. You do have some really nice scenery to work with.

You have a really good eye for design. The SRT 101 is still a great camera in the right hands.

Hey! Been considering this watch, what is the lug to lug?

Nice! This is cool watch ⌚️！

I have a Rollei 35S and have taken some great photos but also some misses - usually close up because there is no parallax correction - in the viewfinder there are hooks on the framelines on the LHS which you have to change the composition to within the hooks when close. Use Hyperfocal distance to get as much in focus - easier with narrower apertures- Enjoy!

I happened to start using a Rollei35T a month ago when my Fuji Klasse S was broken. I am enjoying the tiny camera very much! 😊

doesnt seem like the film is advancing, might wanna double check and make sure the rewind knob is spinning while advancing the film.

Quiz is good!

I have enjoyed this series so much. I just found a '66 srt101 that belonged to one of my relatives and have just been spending the day learning about it. Your series really exposed the process of learning film photography and the learning curve of operating the camera. I really hope you continue this journey.

Just got an SRT 303. Mint w lens for under $100

Have you tried the MC lens on your Sony? I just bought an SRT101 at a shop up the street from my house. 25 bucks with a 58mm 1.4 lens. Also bought a 50 macro and a 28mm 3.5. Ordered an adapter so going to try the lenses on my A6300 & 7R3. Based off your photos the lens appears to be pretty sharp. Liked the video

Thank you so much for this video, its great to see your journey with film photography my advice will be: try different film stocks (color and also black and white) try the cheaper ones first and go to differents places citys, towns, mountains etc. try with harsh ligh, soft light, blue/golden hour, and find people who inspire you even the old masters like fan ho, Garry winnogrand, Robert frank can teach you a lot of things keep in mind there are tons and tons of people out there with different styles and also enjoy the process. my first camera is a minolta XG-M a truly classic from the 80s gosh love that camera. btw your minolta also looks so good, its a really minty one i bet your grandfather was a great photographer hope you understand what im trying to say my english its not so good and again thank you.

Back when I was getting into photography, the top dogs were Nikon and Leica. If you had the bread, you got a Nikon F or Leica M4. Right below that were the Pentax Spotmatic and the Nikkormat. Then you had Canon FTb and your grandpa's Minolta. All of them classic film cameras; any of them would do the job. Being a broke high school kid, I had to settle for the Canon TL (the FTb's cheaper sibling). But it, too, was a fine camera-did the job until I got my Leica.

One of the advantages of film is you have a finite number of shots and making exposure notes is easy and a good way to improve your film photography. Also, start with B&W.

Sony Alpha is the Result of Sony electronics and Minolta Optics, because Sony Purchased Minolta to improve its own Cameras to lead them to Profesional cameras, taking advantage of Sony's expertise in Electronics and Film Recording. Sony is the Best in Recording Videos, Nikkon is the Best in Photography and Canon is an intermediate of Both Good Video and goos photography but not the best in any.

these pictures are really cool, nice shots!!

Nice photo!!

I use my Minolta SRT 101 lenses on my mirrorless camera with an adapter, it works great.

I love the grain

Nice photo!

th-cam.com/video/5-WnFlLcP4w/w-d-xo.html Just a footnote on this video: The lens stop-down button which acts as a depth-of-field preview only works when the shutter is cocked by activating the film advance lever.

OK. I own two of those, 1966 was the first model roll out in Japan. That's an early one with no hot shoe for flash and has the film speed reminder dial on the film door at the back. Later models in the 1970's had a hot shoe and a square receptacle on the film door to take the box-end of your cardboard film box. This tells you whether your film is colour, B & W, negative, slide film, and of course the ISO of the film. Originally took a 1.35 volt mercury battery (no longer available). You can use a current 1.5 volt battery which has a 1/3 of a f/stop discrepancy. The camera works fine with no battery except for the light meter. You can use a hand-held light meter or use the "Sunny 16" method. How that works; set the shutter speed to that of the film ISO or close as, and use the rule, F/16 for sunny condition, F/11 for part cloud and F/8 for full cloud and F/5.6 for dark, thick cloud. It's a great camera, I got my first one in 1977 when I was 13 years old.

goooooood!!!

These old Japanese cameras are gorgeous. Minolta is a great brand. Enjoy.
