I recently inherited a Minolta SRT MCII camera along with a mess of lenses, filters, and accessories. I was hoping some camera buffs could help me out, because I have not used a camera like this in years. Firstly, what kind of battery does this thing use? I was not fortunate enough to get a manual, and all the links I try on the internet are no good.
Also, Some of the lenses I got are Yashika, including a Yashinon-R Zoom 90mm-190mm lens. It looks to me like these are screw-in lenses, and the Minolta uses a Bayonet Mount. Is there a way to use that cool zoom lens on my Minolta?
Any help you can give me would be great! Thanks, all

If I cannot use the Yashinon, any idea how much it is worth to sell?

For the battery use a WEIN Cell MRB625.
You can easily find an adaptor to use the screw-mount lenses on your Minolta. You'll have to use stop-down metering though.
Your camera is very similar to the SRT-100 so a manual for it might help.
Keep searching on ebay. Eventually you'll find a Manual.
