This Minolta SR-T 101 trucker hat pays tribute to one of the most recognizable manual-focus 35mm SLRs of the film era. The front artwork isolates the distinctive Minolta SR-T 101 model lettering, turning a familiar camera-body detail into an understated photography reference rather than reproducing the entire camera.
Introduced in 1966, the Minolta SR-T 101 combined a mechanical 35mm SLR design with through-the-lens exposure metering. Its CLC (Contrast Light Compensator) metering system used two CdS cells to help account for contrast within a scene, while compatible MC Rokkor lenses allowed full-aperture TTL metering. The SR-T 101 remained in production for roughly a decade, becoming a long-running part of Minolta's manual-focus SLR system.
The design is available in two P423 Weekender colorways: Graphite with Black Mesh Back and Tan with White Mesh Back. Both pair the camera-inspired front graphic with contrast cording, breathable mesh panels, and an adjustable snapback closure.
For photographers who learned exposure on an SR-T, still keep one on the shelf, collect Rokkor-era Minolta gear, or simply know the model number on sight, this is the kind of camera reference that needs very little explanation.
