Hello Peter. Thanks for the link to the free magazine. Perhaps it will inspire me to get more use from my Minolta Hi-Matic 7S II. Ed ... from ... here's ... ...
I noticed that RANGEFINDER magazine is a BAD NAME since they are NOT about "rangefinder" cameras, but are using the name metaphorocally, Doh! That may be why...
Good morning, Peter; No, I am sorry to say that this particular Hi-Matic 9 was the victim of some pretty bad workmanship in someone's attempt to recover from...

Did Minolta ever make a fixed-lens rangefinder with an f1.4 lens? I acquired a Yashica Lynx 14 by trading an AF Minolta P&S I got for $1.00 on ebay. The Lynx...

Good morning, Chuck Cole; (I need to be careful here in clearly indicating which Chuck is being addressed.) Chuck Norcutt is right. I also do not recall any...

Good morning, Chuck; Thank you for the suggestion. I do need to go through the files listings to see if there might be others that I could put there also. I...
