Minolta Hi-Matic 7

This camera is brilliant! The fact that it can be found for $40 is unbelievable to me. It has every feature one could ever want and it is so elegantly designed. Man oh man. How can anyone afford not to shoot rangefinders! Just thought I'd share my excitement.

I have 2 of the 7S models, one from 1970's, and another from
a recent camera show. Those Rokkor lenses are great. The
7S just added a hot-shoe and a film loading window on the
back that is red when film is loading correctly.
Best regards
