The total number of Minolta Hi-Matics I have is 11. Black 7s, 9, C, E, F, FP, the G, 7sII, AF, AF-2 and AF2-M. There were 18 different models produced with about 33 different variations counting black models and the ones labled for specific stores. I do not plan on getting all of them.
Not in the mail, but today I went to a new photo b&m shop and found a very nicely preserved ITOOY lens shade to complement my Elmar 50 2.8.
I agree with the comments here that the ap ring is almost unusable but I was surprised to find the item - in such well preserved form - at only 30€. So happy that I spent 40€ more in a B+W red filter!
Received two packets today. The first one is a Sverdlovsk-4 light meter. A quick test shows that it meters accurately with tree PX-625 cells installed. It's my second Sverdlovsk-4. I kinda like them 🙂 The second package includes a 32mm push-on Kodak hood for my new Retina IIS.
I just recevied a well used but presentable Minolta Hi-Matic. Introduced in 1962, it is the first model in the long and diverse series of Hi-Matic cameras. I really like the gray color; it reminds me of the gray interior of my parents' 1962 Buick Electra 225 Hardtop Coupe.
I have looked at that camera, as a MF possible..., alas, no scanner for anything larger than 35mm 🙁, and no $$ either for capable flat bed.
wear it well 🙂
My Crown Graphic 4x5 along with a Schneider 135 F4.7 (in pristine condition) arrived today. Just need to get that lens board on order and I'll be good to go.
Wow. I can see my GAS is a bit out of control right now. (See right above 😛)
CV 28/3.5 came from Japan. This is my second attempt to try out this lens, or rather the 28mm focal length itself. I hope this time it sticks. It's hard to get this tiny gem again and again... If I still can't get used to 28mm FL, at least this lens can mate with E-PL1. 🙂
