Case Study: The infamous
Hi-Matic Panorama
Made for the street:
Taking the leightweight Minolta Hi-Matic out to a trip to Berlin – for a thorough a testdrive….
The funny thing with the Hi-Matic is, it is ideal for street photography, it is stylishly retro, very small so nobody feels threatened – in fact, people have a tendency to smile when they notice it.
And the camera is quiet. The shutter is barely noticable when taking a picture and since there is no motor drive, you can shoot candid if you have to.
