I picked up a Minolta Hi-Matic 7s at the dump last weekend. Cleaned it up, replaced the light seals with old handle bar tape from another dump find, put a roll through it during the week, then developed it to find that it works flawlessly. In fact, even in automatic mode it produced perfect results, it's almost unbelievable! $10 well spent.
After the farmers markets on Saturday morning we ventured to Mal Adjusted, he's moving his shop to a smaller residence, the garage sale proved quite gainful for me.
Then on Sunday we headed out to Gundaroo and Collector for a drive in the rain, then took Elroy for an afternoon stroll; every cloud has a silver lining.
It looks like the Hi-Matic could be a regular from now on, with its 45mm f/1.8 lens it surely is versatile. (More pics from my ride home in the rain below).
