Vintage Minolta Hi Matic E Rangefinder 35mm Film Camera 843742
Hi-Matic was the name of a long-running series of
35 mm cameras made by
Minolta.
The original Hi-Matic of 1962 was the first Minolta camera to feature
automatic exposure and achieved a small degree of fame when a version
(the
Ansco Autoset) was taken into space by
John Glenn in 1962.
The
Hi-Matic E of 1971 was a much-improved version of the C with a
40 mm f/1.7 lens and a rangefinder. It used the same Electro Control
automatic exposure system found on the
Yashica Electro cameras. The E was followed by a succession of increasingly inexpensive models, the
Hi-Matic F in 1972, the
Hi-Matic G in 1974, and the
Hi-Matic G2 in 1982. The Electro Control system was abandoned after the F in favor of a simpler system
