In The Beginning, Part I
Minolta SR-T 200 with Minolta MD Rokkor-X 45mm F/2 (semi) pancake lens. This combo is a tribute to my first real camera back in the day. When I signed up for a photography class in college in the early 80s, my father gave me his SR-T 101 with a 45/f2 lens on it. As I finished college a couple years later, the SRT had died on me and like an idiot, I didn't think to get it repaired. Years later, I sold the lens off, again, like an idiot. That is why I call this a tribute to my first real camera. I sought out this SR-T 200 rather than a 101 because I can't stand the placement of the self timer switch on the SRT bodies - something lacking in the 200. See part II for the continuation of this story.
