Used Minolta SRT 100 Film SLR W/ 50mm F2 Lens

The meter needle lines up perfectly with the viewfinder mark, and the 50mm f/2 lens renders colors beautifully on the first roll I shot. It's got that solid, all-metal weight that makes you feel like you're holding a real camera.

The shutter release feels crisp and the meter needle is still accurate, so I can trust the exposure reading without second-guessing. The all-metal body has that reassuring heft that makes every shot feel deliberate, and the 50mm f/2 lens is tack sharp once you nail focus.

I was pleasantly surprised by how solid the all-metal body feels—the weight is reassuring without being too heavy. The 50mm f/2 lens is clear and sharp, making my first rolls come out beautifully. It's a fantastic way to get into film photography.
