Minolta SR-1 Manual Focus Film SLR (1959)

In 1958, Minolta produced its SR-2 film SLR designed to be a premium camera. This camera introduced many firsts to the world: 1) The mirror instantly drops back down after exposure; 2) Auto-diaphragm. However, the SR-2 was too expensive for most people; the SR-1 was created in 1959 as a budget version of the former. 

Minolta SR-T102 Manual Focus Film SLR (1973-1975)

Minolta SR-T101 incorporated the world's first ever matrix metering system. The SR-T102 is followup to this camera. The SR-T102 is also known as SR-T 303 (Europe) and SR-T Super (Asia-Pacific). There are few changes from the previous model, but this camera was targeted toward amateur photographers.
