The early Hi-Matics are definitely under appreciated. Maybe it is because of their size. In my opinion, they had excellent build quality - which was fitted with a superb optic.
I have to ask. Is the orange puppy a Hi-Matic 9?

That’s a handsome collection you have there. My first serious camera was a HiMatic 9 which unfortunately suffered a sad demise when one of my siblings (no one ever fessed up) spilled a whole glass of Pepsi on it. The tear down and cleaning would have been more than a new one. But by that time I was completely enamored with SLR’s and replaced it with a used Miranda D.

Here are my three. Someday, they'll get an overdue workout.

Yes it is. When i got it, it had a very loose and wobbly lens so i had to do some deep surgery which then required a new covering.
