It was either Tri-X or Fuji Neopan 400. It's been so long I couldn't tell you. This was published in the NSS news, monthly new magazine for the National Speleological Society.

One of the things I liked so much about the SRTs was the extreme flexibilty of the system. It was easy and fairly inexpensive to get or make extra parts. I made a good extension tube by taking the glass out of a cheap tele-extender.

Have you ever used the 1.2 55mm Rokkor? I used to have one and it was a wonderful piece of glass.

That's pretty sweet Gary. I also have an SRT200 at home that needs to be overhauled (seals started to get pretty bad and now they jammed up the shutter so it doesn't close all the way). I also heard it was some to-do to change the battery to a newer low voltage one because it throws the meter off. Too bad it costs so much to overhaul cameras these days. I have a 50mm and a nice 135mm lens that I might want to get rid of too ;) I'm pretty sure those are in good condition still.

I used to take a Minolta 201 with me on caving trips in an ammo box. It never let me down and I've gotten a few pretty good ones out of it. I had to get rid of it after the battery supply dried up and my eyes started having problems getting accurate focus.

Actually, the Minolta SRT 101, 102, 201, 202 were built like the proverbial brick sh** house. :D
