Isn't that the name of the mount though?
I cut my teeth on an SRT101.
The actual name of the mount is SR, and Rokkor lenses were designated either MC (meter coupled) or MD (later version, which allowed for shutter priority with cameras that supported it).
I literally just divested myself of all my Minolta gear today: an SRT-202, an XD, and six wonderful Minolta lenses; I gave them to a really excellent young photographer who's been following in my footsteps in concert photography and I'm sure he'll do great things with them. I decided last year that I'm not an SLR shooter; I sold my Nikon FM3a earlier this year as well so I have no more SLRs.
Hmm.. the early 1990s was part of the 1980s..Right? The best SLR that I’ve ever used and a bevy of Zeiss lenses..and the vacuum film plate actually works… Contax RTS III. Other Contax RTS fall into the specified time period.. but just say’in.

Like that one. I‘d maybe swap out the body for an F2 and the 85mm for a 105mm f2.5.
Owned about a dozen 105 2.5's over the years. The oldest had the long aperture ring of the tick mark era, the newest was an Ai-S. I was always a fan of the 85.
My vote for heavyweight king would be the Leica SL MOT with the huge motor drive with the battery
pack. It pretty much wouldn't matter which lens one used, they were all heavy.
Of those, I've only owned Pentax K and M42 so I'll stick to those. Both of these kits are under $500, I'd never pay more than that for a '60s-'80s 35mm system.
Pentax K
Ricoh XR7
Ricoh XR Rikenon 70-150mm f/4
Auto Revuenon MC 50mm f/1.4
SMC Pentax 24mm f/2.8
M42
Fujica ST705
Mir 24N 35mm f/2 (actually a Nikon F lens that came with a interchangeable M42 mount, the dedicated M42 version is a lot more expensive)
