Minolta 7sII

Compact, well finished 35RF with fast lens, AE and manual exposure. Some Minolta fans believe the 7sII has the same lens as the Minolta produced 40/2  Leica CL.  I have not been able to confirm this, but welcome any more information on the subject.

The Negative


The Minolta 7sII is small, nicely made, and offers both AE and manual exposure.  Yet it is an average design of its type with  no features to set it apart from its competition. While Yashica, Olympus and Canon sought to compete in this class by adding new features, Minolta instead was satisfied with a well finished camera of average specifications.
