Lens for Minolta SRT101?

I need to find a lens for my old SRT101, a zoom of about 28-90mm (or close
to that). Does anyone have a recommendation for such a lens? The camera is
so old I have no idea where to start looking (small town, no photo stores
nearby). Would it be an MD series lens?

Thanks,
Craig

MC or MD will both work fine.

(small town, no photo stores nearby).

You can still buy a few lenses for this system new at B&H or check www.keh.com
for used lenses at good prices.

Thanks for the tips, Bill. Quick reply too!

Also try www.keh.com they have lots of used Minolta stuff and they are an
excellent company to deal with. They're "bargain" equipment is what a lot
of people would grade "excellent". I'm not a Minolta owner but I've given
them a lot of money for other stuff over the years, and I've never been
dissatisfied.

Yeah, they have eight of my old MC and MD lenses I sold them last year, all
primes from 24 mm to 800 mm ...

opinion a
better lens the the 28-? zooms..

I agree with this, Colyn, if you mean the 35-70 f3.5 MACRO. I think there
was also a non-macro version, in addition to a 3.5-4.5 variable aperture
zoom. The macro 35-70 f3.5 is so good, allegedly made in joint venture with
Leica, that I own two of them.
