Minolta's Hi-Matic F — compact fixed-lens 35mm rangefinder, 38mm f/2.7, programmed electronic auto, 1972.

The Minolta Hi-Matic F, from 1972, was a compact fixed-lens 35mm rangefinder in the Hi-Matic line. It continued the series' move toward small electronic-exposure bodies, sitting alongside the Hi-Matic E in the early-1970s compact range.

This is a 35mm coupled-rangefinder camera with a fixed 38mm f/2.7 Rokkor lens and an electronically-controlled leaf shutter. Exposure is programmed automatic using a built-in CdS meter that sets both aperture and shutter. The electronic shutter requires a battery to operate, and the original design used a mercury cell.

The Hi-Matic F suits travel, street and everyday photography where a small, light rangefinder with automatic exposure is wanted. The compact metal body is easy to carry and the programmed automation keeps operation simple, though manual control is limited.

On inspection, note the electronic shutter depends on a working battery, and the original mercury cell is obsolete, so a substitute is needed. Check the lens for haze and fungus, test the meter and automatic exposure, and verify rangefinder patch contrast and alignment. Replace perished light seals and confirm the shutter fires reliably.
