The Minolta Hi-Matic 7SII (VG47) has been inspected by CPB Darkroom and is mechanically functioning properly. The shutter fires correctly, aperture control is smooth, and rangefinder focusing operates as intended. The camera requires a discontinued mercury battery, and as a result, the light meter is not functional. The camera can still be used reliably with an external light meter or manual exposure estimation. Cosmetically, the camera shows normal signs of use consistent with age. The images shown depict the exact camera you will receive.
