Minolta Hi-Matic 11
The Hi-Matic 11 by Minolta was a Japanese 35mm rangefinder camera - introduced in 1969. It was a flagchship model of Hi-Matic Series, similar to the Minolta Hi-Matic 9. Like the 9, the 11 had automatic exposure program, automatic flash control, and the Contrast Light Compensator (CLC) meter, offering better metering in high contrast situations. The three modes, Automatic Program, Shutter Priority, and Automatic Flash Control constituted the "Super 3 Circuit" branded on the front.
This was the last of the large Hi-Matics (7, 7S, 9, 11), and it offers the best user experience of the group.
The camera is equipped with an excellent and fast f/1.7 45 mm Rokkor lens.
