Just got a Hi-Matic G

[camera.bear]

Just got a new scale focus camera. Yesterday my ntm Minolta Hi-Matic G was delivered. It is very nice condition including the lens cap and case. I popped in a new battery and the camera is metering correctly. I have loaded it with some Fuji 100 and will be shooting it over the weekend. It should be a fun time.

I have one of these. The meter is dead, but it appears to work at 2.8 and 1/60th. Takes great photos, given that limitation.

Nice find - I almost picked one up myself. Can't wait to see the first photos.

Well, I got back my first roll from the Hi-Matic G. The shots were mostly underexposed by about a stop and a half. I was able to rescue a few of them however. I had department store Fuji 100 in the camera. I have shot 4 different rolls in four different cameras and they all came out looking under exposed.

I will be trying the Hi-Matic G again with a fresh battery and some Kodak Ektar 100.
