Minolta camera srt 2016/22/2023 ![]() But, all of my problems with SRT cameras have revealed that the mechanical bits are definitely sensitive to gravity and the orientation with which you’re holding the camera. ![]() I don't know if tapping it upside down physically nudges the actual shutter release mechanism or if it nudges the mirror or what. Of course, there are lots of other causes for lockups that this will not fix, but it's worth a try! You don’t even have to take the film out. This will be my first film camera and my intention is NOT to have. I am trying to figure out which is a better option. I called a local camera shop and they had a Konica Minolta SRT 201 with a 50mm f/1.7 (89) and a Canon FTB with a 28mm f/2.8 lens (69). Its new features were the hot shoe for the flash and the film memo holder on the back. It was an improved version of the SR-T 101. Since then, I've had an SRT-201 and an SRT-SC-II lock up on multiple occasions like this, and turning it upside down and tapping the top on my wrist *always* freed it up. I am looking to buy a fully mechanical film camera. The Minolta SR-T 201 (labelled in USA and Canada, Minolta SR 101 in Japan, Minolta SR-T 101b in Europe and elsewhere) was one of the SLR bodies of Minolta s popular SR-T series. After an hour of fussing with the advance rollers, the mirror, etc, I discovered an elegant solution: I turned it upside down, kept pressure on the shutter button, and tapped the top of the camera (upside down) into the palm of my hand. My SRT SC-II was wound and jammed: the shutter button wouldn't depress. I know this post is old, but if I had found this method described when I googled this problem it would have saved me a lot of time, anxiety, and a half a roll of film. I wanted to post here because I haven't seen this solution before. I just had this problem, and then solved it.
