Introduced in the late 1950s and produced through the 1960s, the Minolta SR-1 is a robust and beautifully engineered mechanical SLR designed for full manual photography. Known for its durability and classic design, it pairs perfectly with Minolta’s SR/MC/MD lenses and offers a pure, meter-free shooting experience suited to those who prefer full control or using an external meter.
