Timestamp and photos here. For sale are two Minolta manual-focus, SR-mount bodies: an XE-7 and an SRT-201 painted in appliance white by Blue Moon Camera; three Minolta Rokkor lenses (24mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.4, and 100mm f/2.5), and two LTM lenses (75mm f/2.5 and 90mm f/4) that I'm reposting. More info below.
Either of the Minolta bodies plus the three lenses would be a great starter set -- a wide, a normal, and a short telephoto -- and I'd love to sell this to a student or someone just getting into film photography. I've tried to set prices based on recent eBay listings, but I'm not wedded to these prices. I don't shoot with any of this gear anymore, and I'd like to see it get put to good use. Also happy to offer a discount if you buy more than one item.
Everything is in "user" condition -- not pristine, but working well and certainly in good shape for equipment that is, in most cases, 50-ish years old. Both cameras will come with body caps; all lenses will come with front and year caps. All prices include Paypal G&S fees and free shipping in the continental U.S.
[Edit: the Zoom Rokkor 80-200mm (in the photo album) is also for sale, but I forgot to include it in the table below. Nothing special to report for that one. Looks great when I've used it on my mirror less. $80]

Notes |
| Minolta XE-7 |
$140 |
Works great; meter is spot-on. Only thing to note is there's some grime in the fiewfinder; I notice it when I move my eye toward the viewfinder, but I can't see it once my eye is all the way up to the finder. |
| Minolta SRT-201 in white |
$120 |
A great all-mechanical camera. that was fully serviced by Blue Moon, where I bought it a few years ago. Meter works great with an alkaline 625 battery, but it reliably underexposes by about 1 stop. You might be able to fix that by using a different battery. But my fix is to simply compensate using the ISO dial: When you shoot 400-ISO film, set the ISO dial to 200; when shooting 100-ISO film, set it to 50, etc. The paint looks nice, but it has chipped in a few spots (see photos). |
| MC Rokkor 50mm f/1.4 |
$65 |
A little haze on one of the inner elements but nothing that affects image quality -- even when adapted to my digital mirrorless. |
| MC Rokkor 100 mm f/2.5 |
$90 |
Great lens and an affordable alternative to the highly touted 85mm. |
| MD 24mm f/2.8 |
$100 |
Highly regarded wide-angle prime. Focus throw is a little stiff but works just fine. Takes 49mm filters (unlike the other lenses here, which take 55mm). I'll include a 49-55mm step-up ring and 55mm lens cap. |
| Voigtlander 75mm f/2.5 Color Heliar LTM |
$150 |
Very compact for a 75mm. Comes with hood, metal push-on cap, and rear cap. Soft wide open. Focus throw goes past infinity, but rangefinder coupling is spot-on. Not a lens you'd zone-focus with anyway, right? |
| Leitz 90mm f/4 LTM |
$75 |
Ancient lens. I've never shot wit in on a film camera, only adapted to digital mirrorless. Comes with plastic display case and aftermarket Leica-branded lens cap. |
