Minolta Hi-Matic G2

Odd little find at a thrift store recently. I put in a 625 battery to find, to my relief, that the meter and aperture seem to be working fine. Great! But something is puzzling me..

I can't find a single thing on the web as far as instructions or specifications. Do any of you have this model? I'd love to hear your opinions and possibly get some tech specs on it.

i don't think you need the instruction to use the camera because it is quite a straight forward guess-focus camera in the very low spectrum of the RF world.

i have a defect one,
i can wind the shutter winder forever but it will not trigger and fire the shutter,
something to do with the rewind mechanics i suspect,
it may be a simple fix but i have no clue.
(i am not going to send it to a professional because it's not worth even the minimum service charges.)

that said, it is still a handsome black camera,
i like that it has both zone symbols (with click stops) and scale (in both feet and meter)
should make a good point and shoot kind of camera.
