Minolta Hi-matic F

The Minolta Hi-matic F is a compact 35mm rangefinder camera from Minolta's Hi-matic series, introduced in the early 1970s as an affordable fixed-lens model aimed at amateur photographers wanting automatic exposure in a pocketable body.

Sales data for the Hi-matic F is thin, with a single recent UK auction hammer result of £38 in October 2024. On that limited evidence, today's saleroom value sits at the low end of the 1970s compact rangefinder market, and prices are highly condition-sensitive — working examples with clean optics typically sell for more than untested or cosmetically tired ones.
