According to the manual, 1/1000 second shutter speed can be used with apertures up to F4, and 1/2000 second shutter speed can be used with apertures up to F8.
Good video on previously unknown vintage cam. Educational. Same for your review on the Super A. Do you have a preference/recommendation between the two? Thanks.
Minolta V2, by Chiyoda Kogaku Seiko K.K. I own this beauty, in Mint+ in Box condition. The only issue perhaps is the shutter ring is rather stiff at dialing in, but it works fine. Also there is a quirky 5sec delay to take the next photo after the shutter is advanced and cocked. Other than that, mine is like it traveled into the future from circa 1958. Edit: The V2 works perfectly now. Shutter fires perfectly now. Just needed to be lubricated at the bottom of camera and fired often since it had not been used.
@@frankiesebadoh The front helicoid assembly needs to be disassembled and re-greased. I just tolerate the stiff aperture ring when using it, as it's functional but just rather stiff. I'd avoid 'doing it yourself" as its a very precision mechanism, and no regular lube will work.

I love mine. Great camera!
Great vid thanks!
Where’s the frame counter?
Tucked away right below the film rewind knob. The window is visible looking directly down at the camera.
