I bought an old Minolta SRT202 camera for ~$60. Does this seem like a good deal?

Camera:$49.99
Lens:2.50
Battery:~$5
Strap:$9.99

I have always heard: "you can't beat glass that costs $2.50" ... so, based on that aphorism alone I would say you made out like a bandit

having trouble finding it .. HERE .. so, based on that alone I would say you "got took"



now, we'll have to call you .. "Rin Tin Tim"

I don't know why

maybe because that site is dpreview...as in Digital Photography...I'm guessing Tim's cam is film...? yes..?

edit- minolta sRt,perhaps?

hmmmmmppppppffffttttt


film? .. as in, "have you developed your own?" ... THAT GUY?


I have (had?) a Pentax Me Super 35mm .. a lot of times I would tie up the camera with photo projects involving a pre-shot full moon (re-entered the film) ... so the camera wasn't available for 'general purpose' stuff

so .. when living in Colorado, I found the same camera being sold on consignment for $150 .. with it came a F1.2 50mm lens (beating the F2.0 from the original purchase) .. and that, alone, made the deal worth it to me ... plus, allowing me to tie up one body while tickling another

oh, wait, did I say that out loud?

Yes, Rob, an SRT...and yes, I need film.
