An excellent option if you're looking for a working vintage rangefinder.
Wow, this is weird. I clicked a link to review the Petri 7s II 35mm rangefinder, and now I get "Konica Minolta XG-M"?
eBay, you fail me.
The Petri 7sII is great by the way, solid late sixties early 70's rangefinder with a crisp 2.8 lens. Ideal for street photography, often found with nearly accurate working meters 40 years on. The two I've had exposed pictures perfectly in relation to the light meter, and were very easy to use.
On the whole I'd recommend them as a cheaper, better camera than the ubiquitous Trip 35. More accurate in focus, better with exposure. Try and pick up one with a case and cap, will help ensure the selenium meter is in good nick. And always ask if the meter works!

[mju:]-V (or Mju V for you and I) Future collector gold
2 of 2 found this helpful Back in 2002, Olympus announced a new flagship model for the Mju series, the V Metal. Although film zoom cameras tend to get a bad rap nowadays for lack of reliability and slow, boring lenses, the V has a very good quality if still quite slow f/5.6 zoom. 8 elements in 7 groups, with light dispersing and aspherical elements. That suggests serious amounts of R&D were spent on this creature, and it shows in other aspects of design. In terms of versatility, the lens runs from normal 38 to long 105, which is a lot less variation than you tend to get from the super wide to crazy long zooms of the late Nineties. With the lack of variation and the in depth design work, the lens *shouldn't* distort too much at either end. The extra weight from the aluminium/steel shell should help with shake at the far end too.
As a Mju, it loves to fire the flash, and has all the modes available to the beloved and sought after Mju II, as well as a slightly easier to access spot meter mode. It also offers an exposure compensation mode for backlit subjects and infinity focus as extra bonuses. The autofocus allegedly uses a mix of passive and active focusing, and is impossibly fast.
On top of this, it is an incredibly well made, durable piece of kit. I have a strong feeling Olympus knew film photography had peaked, and this was going to be their swan song. As both object and artefact, the Mju V is a tremendous camera, and one that'll capture the imagination of anyone who spends some time with it. Expect the collector cults to start forming soon, and prices to slowly rise over the next few years for this diamond in the over-saturated zoom film camera market begins to make a name for itself (again).

Great compact, a match for the Yashica T4
A great little film compact from the 90's - 35mm focal length, max aperture f/3.5.
Colour rendition from the lens is great, AF is accurate 99% of the time.
Try it with Kodak Ultramax 400, and shoot without flash.
