US, Im thinking the Hi Matic series is full of those oft overlooked treasures that happens when everyone is set on finding a mint Canonet GIII QL1. I know I didnt really think of it, I dont really think of Minolta as a must have camera blasphemer I have to say, this one is pretty sweet. Avoid the G if youre looking for a true rangefinder its strictly zone focus with viewfinder, like a basic point shoot. The AF series is just like the Konica C3. AF series they even look the same black, ugly. I acquired another Hi Matic E at the local Goodwill for even less than the first one, its actually a Hi Matic ES which is a version made exclusively to be sold at K Mart stores. The only difference is the lack of SLS film alignment system who knows how useful it actually is anyway and no Auto Manual flash setting switch. A black plate covers this part of the back, which says Manufactured exclusively for S. S. Kresge company. Ive also seen a black version like the black Konica C3. But I think theyre RREBattery followup. Genstat 16 Crack. At first, two new 6. KA batteries current replacements for the PX6. I suspected corroded wiring and temporarily set it aside. THEN, After letting it sit for a week or more till I got around to looking at it again, it sprang to life I had left the batteries in the whole time. No, Im not sure what that means. So of course I immediately shot a roll of Plus X, half at ASA5. ASA1. 00 to check the auto metering. At one point the whole thing locked up and I had to take the film completely out, reset the wind lever and reload the film. Then it stopped working again. Turns out I was right the first time see below, and on top of that the 6. Repairs. Ive given it a nice surface cleaning and cleaned up the glass, and have done a preliminary light seal replacement I may have to go back and readjust, its a bit tight to close and the new seals are untested. Dental picks are especially useful removing the old seals on this one as the door channels are deep. I also used many toothpicks moistened with Windex. Make the rubber strips thin as the mating surfaces also run deep. Give yourself a good couple of hours. I usually put on a movie Ive already seen for this tedious task. Followup I did have to adjust the thickness of the new rubber door seals to get the back to close comfortably. String might have been a better choice for this one. I disassembled the top cap and cleaned the rangefinder glass it typically fogs up after a while on these little rangefinders. HOWEVER, a peek under the bottom cap revealed my problem here corroded wiring from old batteries left too long. I ended up having to replace a wire in there, the black ground wire which is the same one I had to resolder on the ES. That one works when the batteries are fresh, the original E appears to have a mechanical problem where the shutter release jams somehow. Ill get around to it eventually. Maybe. Tips Tricks. As suggested elsewhere I basically confirmed that when using 1. ASA to 12 what your film rating should be results in better exposures. So shooting Plus X at ASA 5. ASA 1. 00 looked underexposed by about a stop. Extra note the camera has nice auto shutter compensation and the pictures I took by window light that ended up being EV 7 8 I checked afterward with my Minolta IV F came out fine. What happens is the red light comes on to warn you of possible camera shake but the shutter snaps meaning that the exposure was within range. I think if its out of range it wont take the picture, as you see with some Olympus cameras. SO while replacements for the obsolete PX6. I found with further use that the alkaline 6. KA are not sufficient for this camera. For best results you should find a way to adapt 1. The Seiko ESF not my favorite shutter BTW like the ES even worse is programmed to NOT take a picture if there isnt sufficient light or battery power to trip the electrically greedy shutter. Heres a way you can make your own 6. Ive also heard other methods, Im trying it with two springs taken from an older broken flash and some foam to fill the gaps, seems to work just peachy.
