In 2002 Leica introduced the M7 and either took a small step into the modern age or lost the faith and profaned all that was sacred about the M-mount camera. 

The Zenit TTL is a Soviet Era SLR produced from 1977 to 1985 by two producer KMZ and MMZ. About 2.6 million were produced with KMZ being the largest producer. This example was make to commemorate the 1980 Moscow Olympics. 

Introduced in 1994, the Sure Shot WP-1 is a fully automatic weather proof camera that looks like a toy but preforms surprisingly well.

Introduced in 1975, the RD was the culmination of the Olympus 35 line of compact cameras. 

The Olympus 35 EC was introduced in 1969. The 35 EC is a zone focused automatically controlled camera.

The Hi-Matic F, is Minolta's 1972 follow up to the Hi-Matic E. I was smaller than the E with a slower lens but also cost less. Sold as a consumer camera. 

The Widelux F7 was released by the Panon Camera Shoko of Japan in 1979 and was produced until 1988 when it was replaced by F8.

The Minolta Hi-Matic S was introduced in 1978 and was the first of the Hi-Matic line to include an integrated flash. 

Introduced in 1971, the Olympus 35 DC is the simplified version of the RD. Same lens, same size, same focus but with out the manual controls.

Leica M3 produced from 1954 to 1968, matched here with a Voigtlander Nokton 40mm lens.

GT introduced in 1969

Produced in 1957, the Canon L1 was an improved VT with a thumb rewind crank. The L1 was a refinement of the VT and Canon's continued fight against the Leica M3.

Cannot QL17: Introduced in 1969 and produced until 1972.

In production from 1967 to 1970, the M4 M and MOT were designed for use with a motor drive. There were 315 M4 M and 640 M4 MOT produced. Many were purchased by the US Navy. Add a Soviet Jupiter-8 lens for the perfect cold war odd couple.

It is a scientific fact that black cameras take better photos and this Minolta Hi-Matic 7sII is proof.

M3 with USSR Jupiter-3 lens. The M3 was produced from 1954 to 1967. The Jupiter-3 lens was produced in the USSR ending in 1988.

Fifty and not done! 

There were three Leicaflex R-mount cameras between 1964 and 1976. The second in the series was the SL (Selective Light) introduced in 1968 and replaced by the SL2 in 1974. 

The Minolta Hi-Matic G is a 1974 released zone focus, auto exposer camera. The G feels like another step in the slow slid away from the original Hi-Matic but still a decent consumer camera.

The Minolta Hi-Matic E was released in 1971 as an improved version of the Hi-Matic C that was a move to a smaller format for the Hi-Matic line.
