The Minolta Hi-Matic 7sII was is one of the best of the Japanese rangefinder cameras made before the age of plastic “point and shoots” and SLRs had completely taken over the majority of the market. It was introduced in 1977 and had all of the best features. These included an excellent quality, fast, 40mm f1.7 Rokkor lens in what is one of the smallest of the 1970s rangefinders bodies measuring just 115mm x 78 x 59 including the lens.

This shutter is a priority autoexposure and manual camera is much smaller than the earlier Minolta Hi-Matic 7s which came out in 1966. Most notable is the high-quality finish on the Minolta 7sII. It just feels very good in the hand!

The 6 element Rokkor lens gives great results providing negatives that are sharp and with good contrast. This camera weighs just 460g, still a solid feel, but easy to carry. The Minolta 7sII is an excellent rangefinder camera for street shooting. It features auto-exposure lock by pressing the shutter part of the way down before re-framing your picture.
