As you may know, while I was home visiting my family I found an old film camera and was really enjoying taking pictures with it and learning the ways of film. Unfortunately, a few days into our trip the film advance lever started grinding a bit and eventually quit working altogether. My grandfather and I took it apart to reveal an extremely chewed up gear…The camera was done for.

Lucky for me my grandfather had a 1967 Minolta SRT 101 35mm camera that he was willing to pass on to me! This camera is way better than the one I found in my mom’s garage and has a great lens! I’ve already shot a few pics with it that I really like.
