I’ve always had a soft spot for the SRT cameras. My Dad had one when I was a kid.
Some time around 19<mumble> (where <mumble> might be between 70 and 72 as far as I remember) we five siblings decided that dad needed a new camera. He had been using a Kodak rangefinder for at least as long my parents were married. They were married in February 1948 and his pictures, mostly slides, went back at least that far. So we all contributed to give dad a new STR-101 for Christmas. He was, shall we say, not expecting it! DadsNewCamera

My dad's photography, both slides and printing, is why I play the game today. This pic always makes me smile (and I'm delighted that I got it right instead of missing it).
My youngest brother still has that camera. He told me the shutter started sticking, he got it fixed, but it started sticking again. Now it's a family heirloom.
