Some cameras just grow on you

The other day I went in to town and tried some streetphoto. I’m not very good at photograph strangers like that, and didn’t wan’t to much attention. Therefore the little modest, functional and quite cool Minolta Hi-Matic F I got from my in-laws came really handy. Small, easy focus, some autmatic exposure, fits in one hand. Nice… I took a couple of rolls Kodak Tri-X (black and white) with this, will show results when back from lab.

    Hej Mattias !

    Tänkte bara titta in och säga TACK… för att du inspirerat mig att
    börja samla “gamla” härliga kameror av olika märken & storlekar.

    Just en sån… en Minolta Hi-Matic F har jag också hittat, fast i “silver”
    och det finns en massa annat kul på loppisarna runt om i Sstockholm, de flesta
    kamerorna kan man dessutom få för rimliga pengar.

    Kolla gärna på min hemsida där jag la upp bilder på min kamerasamling idag :-)

    Varma hälsningar, Thomas

    P.S. Hittade dig & dina sidor via Naturfotoforum

    Välkommen och grattis, se upp för beroendet bara… för det är beroendeframkallande kan jag lova! ;)

    I really like the Hi-Matic F as well. It is the camera that I have been keeping in my work bag. I love the size and how easy it is to use. The rangefinder is very fast and easy to use. I currently have one in silver and have a black Hi-Matic FP on its way to me.

    Thanks Wayne! Really interesting, I found several people on the web that really like this camera :) But still it’s often cheap on ebay and swedish Tradera.
