Minolta SRT 303 35mm SLR Film Camera with 35mm f2.8 Lens
Description:
The SRT 303 is the best of the SRT series and one of the finest fully mechanical SLRs Minolta ever made. Released in 1973 as the top-spec model of the range, it adds a hot shoe, a split-image and microprism focusing screen, aperture display in the viewfinder, and multiple exposure capability over the simpler SRT 100. The CLC metering system uses two cells to balance exposure across high-contrast scenes, which was a remarkably sophisticated approach for its era. The all-metal build is exceptional and the shutter is famously reliable. Paired with the 35mm f2.8 Rokkor, a sharp and compact wide angle, it covers street photography, travel, and everyday life with real versatility.
Specs:
- Type: Fully mechanical
- Maximum Shutter Speed: 1/1000s
- Lens: Minolta SR/MC mount, 35mm f2.8 Rokkor

Battery: PX625 equivalent, such as MRB625 zinc-air, for the light meter (included)
Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can’t guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn’t an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture we recommend using an external light-meter or for you to take our online course that will teach you how to use a film camera without the use of any external tools.
