Tags: camera (8 pics) The Minolta SR series began with their first one, the SR-1 in 1959 (53 years ago). It introduced the popular MC interchangeable bayonet mount for Minolta lenses. More than a decade and over a dozen camera models later, Minolta released the SR-T MC-II, which is a rebadged SR-T 200 with a few improvements. The SR-T MC II was produced from 1972 (40 years ago) through 1975 (37 years ago), the heyday of all mechanical SLRs. Like those of its time, it features an all-metal body, metal lens mount, smooth shutter action, and a solidity that the plastic SLRs of the 1980 (32 years ago) and onwards have never achieved. The cameras of the 1970 (42 years ago) have a better chance of working in 2050 than those made in the 1980 (32 years ago) (see my anecdote regarding the Maxxum 7000 vs. Spotmatic below). Amazingly, you can still buy new MD mount lenses at camera stores. The only camera system with better longevity (1955-2004) is Leica's M-mount.
