The SHOOTOUT: I compare my fixed-lens 35mm rangefinder compacts to an actual Leica M6. These smallish cameras are true gems and can be had for a lot less money than a proper Leica, but the optical quality is so good, they can’t be ignored.

Flickr: Discussing Olympus trip 35 or Minolta Hi-Matic 7S? in Rangefinders
The Hi-Matics are fine cameras and the 7S is arguably the best of them. Beware however that the meter runs on the dreaded PX625 cell, so the usual issues with sourcing 1.35-volt batteries, or shimming zinc-air 1.4V hearing aid batteries, or compensating the meter reading for over-voltage if you use 1.5V batteries apply. That said, I believe you can shoot it in full manual. The Rokkor lenses on these Hi-Matic cameras are lovely glass (the 7S has a 45mm f/1.8 I think, nearly the fastest that they had). I have a Hi-Matic 11 which I like a lot, but it operates only in shutter priority or full auto. Great camera, big and chunky, wonderful glass, same battery issue. The Olympus Trip 35 has the advantage that the meter is Selenium and thus no battery is needed. If the meter’s kaput though there’s not much you can do. Sorry, none of that probably helped much. I’d go with the Minolta but simply because I like rangefinders. 94 months ago
Yutaka Seki says: I know this is an old post and antoniopouseiro probably has a new camera already, but I have an Olympus Trip 35 and Minolta Hi-Matic 7 (pretty close to the 7s – same lens as far as I know and the only real difference being a hotshoe and maybe better metering for the 7s). I do like the trip a bit better, even though it’s not what one would really consider a rangefinder. It’s smaller, lighter and has a sharp and contrasty lens. Sometimes it’s also nice to have a camera that for the most part, you just have to compose and shoot. It’s pretty good for street photography when you don’t want to miss the shot. You pretty much just have to adjust the distance ring to one of the appropriate symbols. The 7 or 7s will definitely give you more options/control. I use my with an external meter or if you have troubles finding batteries, you can use sunny 16 or get an adaptor for the battery chamber and get a battery of similar charge to the original. Below are a couple of examples from both. The top two are with the Hi-Matic 7 and the bottom two are with the Trip 35. I’m not a camera expert, just an enthusiast, so this is all my personal preference and results can vary from user to user. Film and what type of light you use and have will of course play a huge role in the look of your photos, but take a look.

I had a look on all the nice suggestions.
I think the two that fit what I need is the
QL 17 GIII
and the
Minolta Hi-Matic 7 Sii
the reason I am picking those two are:
-Full manual control If I want
-the lens rings (aperture, shutter speed, focusing) do not seem that much stacked or have small levers. In my olympurs 35 rc my major pain what that when I was chaning aperture I was moving accidendtally the focus ring too
-both cameras seem to have very good lenses and fast apertures.
I am not sure on their size. Olympurs 35 rc was the ideal size and I can not understand how larger these cameras might be or not.
That is all for now

Another small rangefinder that I have used a lot in the past is my Minolta Hi Matic F, which is auto exposure. It’s got a lovely 38 / 2.7 lens and is very easy to use. It’s popular with street photographers, but still cheap.
If you want a good compact, I have a box full that I’m trying to get rid of. There’s some good ones in there, I can make a list if you want.
Thank you Lloydy. I would like to look at that list if you don’t mind. Will you put it with your cameras for sell?

Could you explain? I am thinking about getting a fixed lens rangefinder and I am considering a compact also.
Of course, compared to SLRs or RF system cameras (like Leica or Voigtlaender), those mini RF 35mm cameras are a compromise in terms of both quality and possibilities. Even an old Russian RF camera like a Zorki with interchangeable lenses beats every of those mini cameras in terms of picture quality. Models like e.g. a Yashica Electro 35 (45mm/F1.7) are not bad at all but also quite heavy and bulky.
The smaller the camera the less precisely it will work. Also the used mini lenses are not really state of the art and the light metering systems are rather average. All that result in more bad pictures for the waste. That’s at least my experience and I have a quite big collection of RF cameras from micro to maxi. You have to set priorities whether portability or quality is the more important feature.
I have a Zorki and a Kiev which I like, but I was thinking of getting a fixed lens rangefinder (mainly Japanese)
but not necessarily a compact one. I have heard some of them performed well. I also notice there are a lot of
German rangefinders. In general there are a lot of old rangefinder cameras. Here I am seeing Voigtlander CLR’s,
Minolta Hi-matics, Yashica Minister D, 35 Electro, a Belmira, etc…

What I don’t like on my HiMatic is that the shutter button goes a long way until it trips the shutter.

If size is not your biggest concern I would definitely recommend the Minolta Hi-Matic 7SII AKA Revue 400 SE (both identical made by Cosina).
It’s much smaller than the Yashica Electro 35 but not as small as the Olympic ones and is still made in metal and therefore also more heavy than e.g. the Olympus XA made of plastic. However it’s a real RF camera with full manual control where you are setting the time manually and the corresponding aperture could be seen in the viewer. Time setting around the lens (B, 1/8 to 1/500) and automatic aperture from F1.7 to F16. Focus is done by a lever on the left side of the lens and goes from 0.9 m to infinity by only approx. 30 degrees turn of the lever. Focus control as usual in the viewer. There is also a flash sync connector and a middle contact for flash usage. There is also a aperture setting when manual flashes are used. The shutter release can take any conventional cable release. A mechanical self timer is located on the front. All in all a decent camera with nearly all necessary features. The lens takes 49mm filters and the light sensor is in front of the lens which enables the correct metering including filter when used. ASA setting from 25 to 800. Copal shutter. The optical quality is not bad either (40mm/F1.7). It takes normal 1.5V battery 675px which is easily available.

Sorry, that you have to find out yourself. I have only the recommended model because it was always considered to be the best one and I believe also the latest of the MF “real” ones. So all other models are somehow a compromise and I don’t like compromises.

which of the two is smaller? Can you also confirm me when you turn the dials for aperture, shutter speed and focus can you change each one independently? In my olympus 35 rc my problem was that when I turned aperture I was also moving the focus ring (and I was losing my current focus point).

I dont’t know whether I understand your question correctly. I don’t know the details of the Olympus 35 RC.
The Minolta and the Revue are IDENTICAL, that means that the only difference is the brand and the name written on the camera and nothing else; it’s one and the same camera produced by Cosina with two different inscriptions. Maybe Cosina produced this camera also for somebody else. I don’t know. It’s size is 115 x 77 mm (just measured), so it’s also rather small compared to other RF cameras of that time. Maybe the Olympus is even a little bit smaller. I simply don’t know as I don’t have it. My Olympus XA is smaller.
However, neither the movement of the time ring around the lens nor the movement of the aperture is in any way affecting the focus ring as the focus ring is only moved by a lever left side of the lens. So the focus will stay as it is if you change the time setting for automatic adjustment of aperture setting. That’s the way the camera is designed. Obviously the Olympus works the other way round that you have to change the aperture setting to adjust the time automatic. The manual aperture setting is primarily for the use of manual flash lights or for fully manual exposure. If you look into the manuals you will see how it works.

A few years ago, I participated in a send-a-camera-around-the-world project over at the Rangefinder Forum. When you got the camera, you’d load it up with film, go out and shoot a roll or two, then post your results at the forum, and then box the camera up and send it to the next person on the list.
The camera that was used for this project I participated in was a Minolta Hi-Matic E. Unlike the Hi-Matic 7’s, the E was an auto-only camera. All you could do with it was set the ISO, focus, and shoot. It handled everything else. At first, I felt really leery about trusting this little camera to deliver well-exposed photos, but when I got my first roll of film back, it removed all doubt.
Without a doubt, the nicest thing about the “E” was its 40mm f/1.7 lens. It produced remarkably sharp photos. I was shooting Kodak 200 film, an OK emulsion I suppose, but I must admit the camera and that film got along well.
Now, if I were to buy a Hi-Matic, I’d go for one of the 7s, because they have manual control of shutter speeds as an option, at least. They also have either a 45mm or 40mm f/1.7 or f/1.8 lens, so they’re great for low light stuff, and maybe even halfway decent bokeh — who knows? I think the 7sII looks the coolest, though, especially in black.
By the way not only was the Minolta Hi-Matic 7sII marketed as the Revue 400SE as Thomas has mentioned, but it was also sold as the Konica Auto S3, the Prinz 35ER, and the Vivitar 35ES.

which of the two is smaller? Can you also confirm me when you turn the dials for aperture, shutter speed and focus can you change each one independently? In my olympus 35 rc my problem was that when I turned aperture I was also moving the focus ring (and I was losing my current focus point).
I dont’t know whether I understand your question correctly. I don’t know the details of the Olympus 35 RC.
The Minolta and the Revue are IDENTICAL, that means that the only difference is the brand and the name written on the camera and nothing else; it’s one and the same camera produced by Cosina with two different inscriptions. Maybe Cosina produced this camera also for somebody else. I don’t know. It’s size is 115 x 77 mm (just measured), so it’s also rather small compared to other RF cameras of that time. Maybe the Olympus is even a little bit smaller. I simply don’t know as I don’t have it. My Olympus XA is smaller.
However, neither the movement of the time ring around the lens nor the movement of the aperture is in any way affecting the focus ring as the focus ring is only moved by a lever left side of the lens. So the focus will stay as it is if you change the time setting for automatic adjustment of aperture setting. That’s the way the camera is designed. Obviously the Olympus works the other way round that you have to change the aperture setting to adjust the time automatic. The manual aperture setting is primarily for the use of manual flash lights or for fully manual exposure. If you look into the manuals you will see how it works.

That Youtube video is not exactly correct. Both the Revue and the Konica are rebadged Minolta Hi-Matic 7sII’s — as I mentioned in my above post. BTW, in my recent reading up on the Minolta Hi-Matics, I haven’t come across any information that would indicate they were built by Cosina. The Hi-Matic models were first introduced by Minolta in 1962, after which they went through various modifications and changes. Not saying they weren’t built by Cosina, but in the several websites I visited that reviewed the Hi-Matic 7s, Cosina wasn’t mentioned.
The Hi-Matic was a long lived line, lasting all the way until 1982. I have an ’81 vintage Hi-Matic AF2 that was given to me by a guy who claimed it no longer worked. All it needed was new batteries.

The best small sized rangefinder cameras are the Olympus 35RC and the Minolta Himatic 7sII. Next come the Canonet QL17 G-III and QL19. The rest might be small sized but none of them offer the features of these cameras.
Olympus XAs are fully automatic cameras with a simple CDs meter that gets tricked quite often.
Of course, for the financially cool people there are newer higher end rangefinder cameras that offer a lot more (Nikon 35ti, Contax, etc).

I have it from here
However, as I wanted to have the very cool looking black version which was only found in Revue branding I went for Revue instead of Minolta. I did make a comparison at least between the Minolta and the Revue model and can definitely say that they are identical. The Revue is even the better one as it features additionally a flash sync box on the left side of the camera which is obviously missing in the Minolta version. The rings for the camera belt are also located a little bit different on both models, where the Revue version is also winning here for my taste. But that’s definitely all about the differences.
No other Minolta Hi-Matic is looking like and operating exactly like the 7sII and it is more than unlikely that Minolta produced only this model for some other distributers and brands too. I would not bet my eyes on Cosina but actually it doesn’t matter anyway.
If you are interested in this model just grab any of them. They all will deliver exactly the same pictures. That’s for sure. I have it from here http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Minolta_Hi-Matic_7sII and other sites (most probably German ones) which I do not remember yet. Revue was a brand name of “Foto Quelle” Germany and Austria. It’s therefore more easy to find it in my region of the world.However, as I wanted to have the very cool looking black version which was only found in Revue branding I went for Revue instead of Minolta.

Another branding for the same camera is Vivitar 35ES.
It might be easier to find that one outside the “Revue market”
Nice compact camera with good and fast lens indeed.

Minolta Hi-matic 7sII – 35mm Film Rangefinder Camera Review
Beginning in the late 1970s, camera manufacturers began to turn away from fun and discrete rangefinders to bulky, and often boring, SLRs. But before totally abandoning the once-popular rangefinder, each of the major Japanese makers seemed to honor their recent pasts by producing one last serious fixed-lens rangefinder. In Minolta’s case, 1977 saw their final effort in the form of the extremely compact, lightweight, and optically wonderful Hi-Matic 7sII. It wasn’t a feature-rich camera by any means, it only sought to offer the minimum that a photographer needs in a camera, and it certainly wasn’t a best-in-class endeavor, that title was more fitting to Canon’s Canonet. But the 7sII does possess certain rare characteristics that make it a special camera, even four decades later.
But lest you think we’re getting carried away, let me be frank. There’s nothing particularly exciting or revolutionary about this little camera. It’s about as average a camera as one can imagine. As the rangefinder market dwindled, the competition was showcasing new features to entice buyers to their swan song rangefinders. Minolta, on the other hand, decided to keep it basic. The result is a camera that doesn’t surprise, and simply works. If you’re one who enjoys the beauty of basic machines, then you just might feel right at home with the 7sII.
The Basics
At the heart of this diminutive rangefinder is a nearly silent Copal leaf shutter capable of speeds from 1/8th of a second to 1/500th of a second, plus bulb for long exposures. And though very few shooters today will appreciate the fact, this leaf shutter allows flash sync at all shutter speeds (a standard hotshoe provides the only circuitry for flash shooters). Shutter speeds are controlled manually or automatically. More advanced shooters will find comfort in using the 7sii’s full manual override (sans metering unfortunately), and a metered, shutter-priority auto-exposure mode make this camera a breeze for photo enthusiasts who are just starting out. Simply set the desired shutter speed via the ring at the front of the lens barrel and the camera selects the aperture that will result in a perfectly exposed photo. An ASA/ISO range of 25 – 800 means we can shoot in all light, and the mechanical shutter means we can keep shooting even if the batteries die mid-roll.
Film advance is lovely and quick. The plastic tipped advance lever is small but angled effectively enough to catch the thumb when needed. Pushing it through its throw (130 degrees) yields a smooth, well-damped motion, though it does sound a bit toy-like on account of its lightweight, metal internals. The frame counter is easy to read and shutter release is of the standard threaded type, with no ability to lock.
The film bay, take up spool, and rewind crank are about as vanilla as it gets. No Canon QuickLoad technology here, but things are easy enough. When loading film, just pull up on the crank and the door pops open. The take up spool grabs the film leader with authority and pulls it around and into place without the hint of a missed load. Unlike its predecessor the 7s, the 7sII does not have a film load indicator; another minor but delightful feature found on other machines of the era.
The 7sII boasts an always-on CDS metering cell capable of EV 4.5 to EV 17 inside of its 49mm filter ring (which means mounted filters are considered when metering. Conserving battery power can be achieved by covering the lens with the lens cap, or simply turning the aperture dial away from auto. The aperture dial sits flush against the camera body, but is easily manipulated via a small metal protrusion at the bottom of the ring. Achieving half stop increments can be a challenge, as the stop detents are very tightly spaced. A non-indented ring may have been a better choice here; those looking to achieve more precise exposures will need delicate hands.
There’s no shutter lock for over- or under-exposure during auto-exposure calculation. In other words, the camera will fire even when there’s too much or not enough available light. This is can be a great help or a great annoyance, depending. Sometimes these exposure locks are a wonderful baked-in forcing function, as in the case with a camera like the Canonet QL17 GIII, and other times the flexibility to shoot no matter what the camera thinks is a necessity. It really depends on when and where the camera’s being used, and ultimately comes down to personal preference. Additionally quirksome is the focus ring. Equipped with a large tab and very short throw, it displays metric and standard distance scales on opposite ends of the ring. Those who only use one scale may find the lack of clutter quite nice, but others may yearn for traditional, vertically stacked scales. This is a quirky design choice, though largely irrelevant since there’s no focus scale for pre-focus.
Disappointments
The camera’s biggest failing is without question its viewfinder. Why Minolta chose to put such a tiny and dim finder on this camera is a universal mystery, but there’s little question that this miserable finder is the reason the 7sII finds little time in my bag when shooting the streets. Instead, I find myself only using it in situations where speed isn’t a factor. Why’s it so bad? To start, the AE selected F-stops run vertically along the right side of the parallax corrected window, and while the upper stops are relatively easy to see, the lower stops (F/2.8 and F/1.7) are imprudently occluded by the lens. If a lens hood is attached, we’re essentially obscuring half of the aperture range (eclipsing just above the F/5.6 mark). The finder is set inward about 3/4″ off of the left side of the body in order to get the field of view as close to the lens as possible (similar to comparable models), but given the diminished size of the viewfinder, it doesn’t allow for the experience of other rangefinders and their big, bright viewfinders.
Further frustrating things, it’s quite common to find 7sII’s suffering from hazy viewfinders. While cleaning them isn’t difficult, it’s unfortunate that the cause of the haze is the very design of the viewfinder glass itself. Minolta opted for a design with two plates sandwiched together, and though this isn’t uncommon, the 7sII seems especially prone to the defect. A defect that’s impossible to restore without tedious disassembly of the viewfinder cluster.
If opting to shoot in Auto mode, reliance on the meter may be a bit of a challenge. While originally accurate with the intended 1.35v mercury cell, more environmentally friendly alternatives may produce unintended results. In fact, it’s quite common to hear 7sII owners complain about working meters over-exposing by two or three stops even with the proper voltage. My copy seems to over-expose anywhere from one half stop to one stop with a 1.4 volt zinc air hearing aid battery. I can live with that, but these meters do become inconsistent with age. Additionally, battery adapters of the MR-9 type do not fit into the battery cell bay, leaving owners with three options when it comes to supplying meter power. Either use a higher voltage zinc air battery, a Wein cell, or rewire the cell to accept a modern silver oxide battery.
I would also caution against ever using the self timer on this camera (or any other fixed-lens rangefinder for that matter). They are, as many people call them, death timers. They will eventually break. Mine has. Please do yourself a favor and don’t use them. Ever.
So why buy one?
Great question, and the first answer is the lens. Sure, it’s a standard issue 40mm F/1.7 (capable of focusing as close as thirty-six inches), but there’s just something ineffable about Minolta glass. Comprised of six elements in four groups, this lens is not only sharp but produces just the right amount of contrast. And sure, the best in this genre possess similarly exceptional optics, but none match the unique rendering characteristics of the Minolta lens. Described in a single word, it’s “dreamy”. It reminds me of my single coat Minolta Rokkor 40mm F/2. In fact, there are rumors that this F/1.7 Rokkor uses the same optical formula as the M-mount F/2 Rokkor; and while I can’t say that’s true, it makes for great folklore.
Sure, the lens is soft wide open, but it tightens up nicely by F/4 and reaches corner-to-corner sharpness by F/8. Out-of-focus areas (bokeh) are nicely rendered wide open and highlight bokeh becomes geometric when stopped down. These observations should be unsurprising to experienced photo geeks. These fixed-lens 40mm cameras tend to be somewhat samey in their clinical test parameters. But the Rokkor simply renders in a different way. If a little window light is present, or even a bit of flare, it can create some very interesting results given its single coated optics.
Finally, to my taste the 7sII is the best looking compact, fixed-lens rangefinder of its generation. The finish of the camera is gorgeous, and if you’re fortunate enough to find a black copy (which may prove challenging), you may quickly agree that the enamel was made to withstand a great deal of abuse. It’s the only black paint camera I’ve ever owned that doesn’t show wear when I use my non-bumpered spring clip strap with it. Furthermore, the original leather case also shares the same durable quality that the camera does. Most of the cases that have come with my cameras have long since fallen apart or disintegrated, however the Minolta leather case for the 7sII still looks brand new.
Photo geeks who love compact rangefinders and have yet to hold a 7sII should seek to get their hands on one. It’s a fun little camera. But if you’re looking for a discrete, powerful, and quick tool for the street, there are better choices out there. In the right hands (not mine) I’m sure the viewfinder is a non-issue, but for me, a large, bright viewfinder can make all the difference between loving a camera, and simply getting along with one.

A cheap rangefinder for amateurs: Minolta Hi-Matic 7SII Review
At the end of the decade of the 70’s, Minolta joined together with other brands such as Canon and Olympus, to the ship of the cheapest rangefinder cameras that supplied a demand that was brewing at that time.
Cameras like the Canon Canonet, or the Olympus Trip 35 (or the incredible Pen-F), including the Yashica Electro 35, were the cameras that at that time gave rise to the growth of amateur photography.
All agreed somewhat in their physical qualities, metallic body, reduced size with more or less manual functionalities, but with an emphasis on portability and easy handling of their functionalities.
The Hi-Matic 7SII comes in both silver and black colors.
Minolta Hi-Matic 7SII Specs
Now lets see the specifications that the Minolta Hi-Matic 7SII has with the following table.
Year Release 1977 ISO 25 – 800 Shutter Speed 1/8th of a second to 1/500th Shutter Type mechanical shutter Shutter L no shutter lock Lens 40mm f/1.7 Lens Type fixed-lens rangefinder Metering CDS metering cell capable of EV 4.5 to EV 17 Battery mercury battery 1.35v, zinc air batteries Competitors Canonet QL17 GIII, Olympus Pen-F, Yashica Electro 35
Hi-Matic 7sii Lens
The Minolta Hi-Matic7SII is equipped with a 40mm f / 1.7 rangefinder lens attached to its body, a Minolta Rokkor 40mm F / 1.7 to be precise.
The focus and aperture dials are accessible on the base of the lens. And has a 49mm filter thread. The minimum focus distance is approximately 36 inches or 1 mt.
A 40mm F / 1.7 is probably one of the most versatile lenses you can find on a camera. Since they offer extraordinary performance mounted in a small body.
Hi-Matic 7sii Viewfinder
The small viewfinder is positioned inwards approximately 3/4 ″ from the left side of the body, this to facilitate that its coverage is as close to that perceived by the lens.
The Hi-Matic 7SII is equipped with a very tight-fitting viewfinder that requires getting used to it to master. As we said at the beginning, one of the outstanding qualities of the Hi-Matic 7SII is its portability, so we cannot expect the viewfinder to be on par with larger rangefinder cameras such as the Yashica Electro 35.
A good use of this camera in action situations, such as street photography, is to apply a per-focus to increase its performance. And once again, it takes a little love to learn to get used to it and deal with its limitations.
Hi-Matic’s Battery
The Hi-Matic 7SII was originally designed to be used with a 1.35v mercury battery which of course is no longer found today. The alternative to this type of batteries are 1.4v Zinc-Air batteries or the well-known “Wein cell” that can be easily found on the internet.
Conclusions
The Hi-Matic is a camera for amateurs, and as such it should be treated, that is, it has great advantages in terms of its size and this is great to make use of it in various situations.
If you know how to take advantage of each of its qualities, you will get magnificent results from it. It is intended for casual use (portraits, landscapes and whatever) or for experimenting with street photography.

Cool, I picked up a 35 RC for my son to use. Nice solid little camera. One shot from his first roll through it earned him a first place in the Utah State Fair. The SP is highly regarded. I also have a pair of Minolta Hi-matic 7sII. They have very sharp lenses on them. Enjoy the rangefinder!

Wow, those little Olympus RFs are wonderful. I have a couple of the guess-focus Trip-35s but I always wanted one of the ‘big’ (or small in the case of the RC) ones.
I managed to resist but now you’ve reminded me again…
Enjoy using that SP, hope all your pictures turn out well!
My own favourite was/is the Konica Auto S3 – very small, shutter priority and some nice auto flash based on rangefinder info.

Yeah the Oly produces a nice image and has a very bright viewfinder when compared against my Hi-matics. But, I did a comparision test between them a few years ago. The 7sII was a clear winner in image quality. They gave a sharper image with more color and higher contrast. But, I understand the SP to be sharper than the RC I have.

Been trotting around with the Oly 35SP, nice little thing, although bulky compared to the current phonecamera’s (LOL). Love the feeling of the thing, I do catch myself staring at the backplate once in a while to verify the image … 15 years education in photography, spoiled in 9 months 🙂
I will post asap the pictures when I shoot that TriX full.
I love that RC model also, the small ‘widget’ above the lens intrigues me – it is also a little smaller than the SP model.
The SP has A (for automatic) setting, just doing everything automatic (duhuh), and a manual, but then all manual. Lightmeter works in manual mode though.
Love the camera and will enjoy it this year – in line with my resolution, loaded up the next role of film and will start carrying it daily tomorrow.

Lovely pics – some of those high end fixed rangefinder cameras had lovely lenses.
I still think my DSLR is fantastic, but still like to play around with the film bodies (I’ve got one film in an SRT 101, another in my OM1 and just put one in my (new to me)Pentax ME) – your pics make me feel like I should get some B&W and put a roll in the S3 too (I’m sure I can find an old Jag around here somewhere..)

Beautiful images. I like #4 -> it’s interesting. 1 – 3 make a great set, like they were telling a story. #1 by itself is just a stunner! For me, the 3 first photos remind me strongly of some of the best magazine photos from the 60’s and 70’s.

Film??
Unacceptable! Whe’re living in the 21th century.
WAKE UP YOU GUYS!

Silver Surfer,
I don’t think you realize that some of us guys have a lot of film gear. I have a total of 28 Nikon, Fujica, Ricoh, Olympus. and Minolta manual focus film cameras.
I absolutely love digital with all the instant gratification and endless manipulations both with hardware and software. But, we are much like the car guys, we appreciate good old stuff.
I still find it a thrill to shoot with film and wait to see if my thoughts equal the end result. Film still has latitude and depth that digital can’t understand yet. Go on Ebay and buy yoursef a very nice old rangfinder and go city walking, You too can experiance the thrill of it all.
It doesn’t make us relics from the past, but, appreciators of fine, useful, beautifully engineered cameras that once cost two weeks salary. They are fun, light, and full of possibilities.
If you will try one you’ll like it. It will however never replace your digital. If it did we would not be here in this forum.

A Vintage look at the Minolta Hi- Matic 7sII By Brandon Huff
A Vintage look at the Minolta Hi- Matic 7sII
By Brandon Huff
Ahhh the Minolta 7sII, a sleek Japanese Rangefinder curated in 1977 as an upgrade from earlier renditions dating back to 1962.
The camera I used/bought was equipped with a 40mm Rokkor f/1.7 Lens and a Skylight 1A filter. When I originally bought this rangefinder I was seeking out deals on craigslist so I could flip some cameras to save up and purchase the street photography setup of my dreams, however after having this rugged little beast I can’t decide if I want to keep it or sell it!
The size of the camera fits in my hands almost perfectly and weighing only 1.2 pounds with a strap means the weight on my shoulders is almost non-existent. Granted I’m not to bothered by weight as I used to carry around a Mamiya 645. Besides weight *almost* everything about this camera is butter, from the ease of loading film, to the smooth focus of the lens. I absolutely enjoyed using  this camera out in the field.
As stated above the lens on this camera is a 40mm Rokkor f/1.7. I personally found this focal length to be a little bit too wide for the street photos I use it for, however if you do like a wide focal length for street photography then this lens is the only one you’ll need. The sharpness and bokeh you get from this lens is fantastic. What makes this an even better street photography machine is the fact that it has a Copal leaf shutter, allowing for a shutter speed range of 1/8th 1/500th of a second as well as a Bulb mode.
YES! This camera does have a metering system, unfortunately mine was inoperative which forced me to use the Sunny 16 rule for all these shots which was unfortunate but makes me a better photographer in the end. In a camera with a working light meter, it will utilize a CdS Cell which essentially allows the camera to work in a Shutter Priority mode with an ASA range of 25-800
Here are some shots below!

The Bad Above I stated a bunch of points of why I like the camera and some basic information on the hardware lets transition to a short blip about some negatives I experienced. Now in all honesty I don’t have many negatives against this camera. I love how it looks, I love how it feels, I love the photos it takes, and I love the lens. The one thing I don’t love is the viewfinder. I have always loved rangefinders and honestly prefer them, this rangefinder however is very dim and the focus patch is difficult to use unless you’re in direct sunlight. Forget about focusing this camera in any dim situation, Every single attempt I tried at a low light photo turned out to be a ill focused spaghetti monster. If Minolta had used Leica as a reference model (yes I know about the Leica CL 😉 ) Â I know this would be the ultimate compact rangefinder for street photography. Aside from the viewfinder issues my other complaint would be the light meter, I can’t exactly talk on that point since mine doesn’t work But thats my complaint. Here are some examples of why you may not want this camera for low light…
Example of why you should not use this in low light! For this photo I even tried to stick my hand out and use focus points and was sure I was in focus but with that dim viewfinder I was panning for gold with out the gold pan.
