Catalogue information
The Minolta Hi-Matic E was the first fully automatic rangefinder camera Minolta Camera Co. produced. It has a very stylish housing and a comfortable viewfinder with parallax correction and a clear adjustment wedge for the coupled rangefinder. In many ways, the camera is comparable to the Yashica Electro 35 GX, which also employs the unique "Electro Control" exposure system (Yashica patent) to achieve very accurate, but fully automatic, exposure. The permanently attached Rokkor QF 1.7 / 40 mm lens is an absolutely top lens, sharp and rich in contrast. According to experts, the same as the (interchangeable) standard lens of the Leica-Minolta CLE. The camera only works with batteries (2x PX-640-1.35V).
