The prism house looks like from an early Nikon F, the body however looks
very much alike the Minolta 9.

I can't recall any other Minolta that had such a pointy prism than the SR-1

Presumable the conehead look indicates a really nice big bright
viewfinder! :-)

Well, the original Nikon F was supposed to have had the brightest
viewfinder of any camera.

Gee, what could a large prism housing possibly mean?
/sarcastic

One detail, however, is that the camera does not have a built in flash.
This sucks... not to use for flash, but to control off camera wireless
flashes.

Maxxum 9 is as bright if not brighter.
