Awesome video! Thanks for all the info! 😊

Thanks for the video.
I have never used the Minolta HiMatic AF-2 35mm film camera with fixed 38mm f/2.8 auto focus lens.
However, I have used the Minolta Hi-Matic 9 35mm film rangefinder with fixed 45mm f/1.7 manual focus lens.
I primarily use my Hi-Matic as a backup to my Leica M6 35mm film rangefinder with 21/35/90mm lenses.

Thanks! Appreciate the post. I love little cameras like these and I always wanted someone to show me how to use it. That’s why I keep making them.

I have this camera, got it at a garage sale when i was a kid just because it looked cool

[@filmstockreel]

It’s a nice camera. Are you planning on shooting with it?

Been using this camera for over a year already, but first time I’m gonna use a positive (E-16) film. I heard this type of film needs more specific metering. Not sure if this camera has that capacity of should I get a manual meter on the side? 😅

I wouldn't shoot e-6 in this camera unless you really want contrasty images or if you must i would suggest shooting on a cloudy day with flat lighting.
