INTRODUCTIONThe Minolta Hi-Matic F is a compact 35mm film rangefinder made in Japan by Minolta in 1972. BEST SUITED FOR:
PERSONAL NOTESI really like the Hi-Matic F, it's easy to use, it's compact and light, I had a lot of fun with this camera. The exposition is limited, automatic only, but it's compact and looks old, because it is. Sometimes this is something you want, especially when making street photography of strangers. The finder is not as bright and precise as a Leica, but it's better than many other rangefinders from the same era. CONCLUSIONIf you are looking for a small and light rangefinder that looks nice, the Minolta Hi-Matic F answers to that need for cheap ! The Konica C35 is also excellent. PHOTO SAMPLESVERDICT:
