Japanese RF for street shooters

[Nikkornos]

Going thru the dry box to periodically maintain the cameras. Here are some to share.


Minolta Himatic E. Not common in Singapore. Needs special adapter for LR44 batteries.
Great for B&W. Lens is nice.

The fully manual Himatic 7s. Still find it heavy and lens not as nice as the Himatic E

Some rumour that Himatic 40mm 1.7 lens is similar to the German optic? Maybe not.

Konica S2. Very sharp lens. Still find it heavy to use.

Remember PETRI? This is the Petri 35 Color corrected. Not bad using Fuji Reala.

Yashica Electro! GT and GTN black.

Lens hood and using new batteries for best results. Avoid mercury battery (poisonous).

I bought this 25 years ago, still very nice to use.

Yashica Lynx 1.4 . I bought in US about 20 years was fairly cheap. Recently the price gone insane. Most of them don't worth the money.
The lens is really good.

Full frame Finepix X100??

Ha ha no, Fujica circa 1970s. Picture is so so. note the focusing done by thumb.

very impressive collection you've got there..

Canonet. So many people like it. I still prefer the Minolta E.

These are strictly P&S. They make cracking good pictures. I like the Leica Minilux for slides.

​

Contrary to the common believe, the best Yashica T series was the Yashica T2 and T3. The latter were not as good for pictures.... maybe.

No many people use the Olympus anymore? The color pictures are superb.
