This is my old Camera. Bought it at the Base PX in Iwakuni, Japan around 1970-1971 time frame.

Nikkormat FTn

An all-metal, mechanically (springs, gears, levers) controlled, manual focus SLR with match-needle exposure control.

Lots of good lenses still around for it. This is my baby, not quite as old, 1983.

MINOLTA XG-M, SIGMA 35-70

A good friend of mine had an SRT-101 kit stolen by baggage handlers on a flight from Phoenix to Chicago. The airline, of course, offered him about fifty cents.

A great lesson I learned from that, and a rule I’ve follwed for forty years since: Don’t check yer cameras with the friggin’ airlines!!!

Anyway, he replaced the Minolta with a Nikkormat exactly like yours.
