Details

When introduced in 1962, the Minolta SR-7 was awarded a predicate by the professional photo press because it was the first SLR camera with a built-in - shutter speed-linked - Cds exposure meter. Despite its rather hefty dimensions, the SR-7 also received many accolades because it was felt that with its slim curves, in combination with the impressive large glass surface of the front lens element of the very bright Rokkor 1.4 / 58 mm standard lens, was the most beautiful looking KB / SLR camera that had ever been built, and thus managed to keep its contemporaries like the Nikons, Canons and Pentaxes far behind.
