Review of the Revue 400SE, copy of the Minolta Hi-Matic 7sII

Hi mates!

Finally i had some free time to write something on my photoblog.

I wrote a review of the Revue400SE, a fixed lens rangefinder sporting a 40mm 1.7 lens. It's probably the same camera of the Minolta Hi-Matic 7sII with some minor differences.

Here is the review: http://itsalwaysluck.com/2014/01/20...nz-35er-minolta-hi-matic-7sii-konica-auto-s3/

Please tell me if you find some inaccuracies in my post!

Peace,
Giorgio

Nice review, especially the accompanying photos. Having had a Konica S3 and Vivitar 35ES I would say they are very close and likely the same chassis. The lenses seem different though - the Vivitar seems closer to an Olympus 35SP and the Konica seems to have a Hexanon character, with not quite as nice bokeh.

Thanks zuikologist! So you prefer the Vivitar? I found that the lens is amazing in my Revue.
