okay /p/
your decition, WHAT DO I DO?

i just stumbled across a Minolta Srt 201 with 5 lenses.

Tele Rokkor 1:3.5 f=135 mm
MC Rokkor 1:1.4 f=50 mm
MD minolta 1:2.8 f=28mm (is this wideangle?)
MD minolta Zoom 35-70mm 1:3.5

what do i do, do i learn how to use it, if so how the hell do i use it? or do i sell it or what!

any guidance please!?

FUCK YEAH.

That is a win camera and a set of win lenses right there. Yes, the 28mm f/2.8 is wideangle.

You should learn to use this camera. It's pretty easy. Ring on the lens sets the aperture, knob on the top sets the shutter speed, button makes the picture happen, lever makes the film go forward.

how do i umm know what to set the aperture at?
is this like sunny 16 rule or something?

im getting excited about it haha.

Most likely. It does have a built-in meter, but the battery is very likely dead and getting a new battery for it is... tricky. The mercury cells it was designed for are banned in civilized countries and the Alkaline cells that "replaced" them don't have quite the same voltage characteristics. So you can get a MR-9 adapter from CRIS Camera or a Wein zinc-air cell. The Wein cells are easier to find (most good camera stores carry 'em, in my experience) and cheaper but don't last as long.

On the bottom of the camera, there should be a little turny switch thing with three settings: On, Off, and BC. If it's Off, turn it to On and see if your meter works. If it's on, look through the lens and see if your meter works. If it's BC, you're fucked because BC drains the power no matter what, so your batteries probably dead.

The SR-T series has a match-needle metering system, which means that the meter moves a little needle on the side of the viewfinder display based on how much light it has coming in. When you turn the shutter speed and aperture dials, a little box in the viewfinder moves with them. When the box encompasses the needle, you've got the right exposure.

Or: Sunny16.

Excellent camera. I have one as well. It's a completely mechanical shutter, no electronic timing, so make sure you keep the timings accurate by firing the shutter a couple times in each speed every few months.

Don't bother investing more money into lenses, except maybe a 135mm prime.

As opposed to using the Rokkor prime?

Sweeet. I was afraid my SR-T-SC II's meter was broken. Turns out the battery was just dead.

I should go take this out for a spin. I haven't exercised this camera's shutter in too long and I don't want it to seize up...
