I’m sorry

Because we can’t speak english

I am using DeepL translate, so it may be a strange sentence,

but I would like you to understand

Thank you



In this issue, we would like to introduce the film chamber lid open knob design of Minolta rangefinder cameras released in 1966.


minolta HI-MATIC 9 (Reference product)




The film chamber lid open knob is located on the side of the film rewind handle.



The knob cover is rectangular with plated edges and attached with pasted leather.



Open the film chamber lid by moving the lever on the plated section at the top of the knob cover down.





This time we introduced the film chamber lid open knob design of Minolta cameras released in 1966.


Previously, we introduced a side-type film chamber lid open knob for SLR film cameras, and this time we found one mounted on a rangefinder camera.


The independent type film chamber lid open knob, which is not used with the film rewind handle, is a good feature, easy to understand and use.








Please look forward to my next column, where I will continue to write about the interesting aspects of film cameras and unexpected discoveries!
