Minolta SRT 201 35mm Camera Body, Chrome (AS-IS)

The Minolta SR-T 201 is a classic 35mm manual SLR camera body housed in a durable chrome metal chassis. Built for Minolta SR/MC/MD-mount lenses, it features a fully mechanical cloth focal-plane shutter, a clear pentaprism optical viewfinder with central microprism focusing aids, and a built-in TTL light meter coupled to shutter speeds and aperture settings. Being fully mechanical, the camera operates shutter speeds independently of battery power. This unit is being offered AS-IS for parts, repair, or display purposes due to shutter mechanical failure and untested electronics.
