Minolta Minoltina AL-s & Minolta Hi-Matic 7s. My favorite rangefinders ;-)

I love my 1960's rangefinders and especially these inexpensive Minoltas with nice f1.8 lenses! Found both on the bay; the Minoltina with oem strap, lens cap, and working selenium meter and the 7s with oem lens hood. Both cameras function flawlessly.

 

Minoltina AL-s Specs:

35mm rangefinder with speeds 25 to 800 ASA

Rokkor-QF 1:1.8/40mm (6 elements)

Seiko-SLV shutter, 1 sec. to 1/500 sec. plus B

Match-needle selenium meter cross-coupled to shutter-speed setting and aperture setting

540 g

 

Hi-Matic 7s Specs:

35mm rangefinder with speeds 25 to 800 ASA
