Doll and SR-1

My first SLR camera, a Minolta SR-1 purchased new in the early 1960s. As a promotional gift, the camera came with a free Japanese geisha doll on a base with a Minolta plaque. It seems this must have been a very limited promotion, because I have been unable to find any other images of one of these dolls. A slightly late image for World Photography Day.

Another image of the geisha doll in the clickable PiP.

Thank you very much, Raingirl. Minolta did indeed make great cameras and I finished up with several - and compared to my current full-frame Pentax it isn't heavy. :-) Sadly I haven't taken film for some years, since digital kept improving and a local camera shop made a hash of developing and printing some colour film. Now I have no nearby camera store, so no readily available film, plus the sheer convenience of digital.... But it (and my other old cameras) are prized memoirs.
