How to load and unload film in a Minolta Hi-Matic 7sii, vintage 35mm Rangefinder camera film loading

In this video I'll be showing you how to load and unload film in a Minolta Hi-matic 7sii camera. If you have a similar minolta or canon rangefinder camera, this video might be of use to you too. In general, most 35mm analog cameras are pretty similar, so if you have another camera, just try to follow along.
Since the film community is constantly growing, I wanted to start this channel to provide all of you with some information about cameras that I am using.
I hope this video was helpful, if you have any recommendations/questions, be sure to leave them in the comments down below.

thanks alot brother,it is a memorable thing of my late father, i totaly forgot how to open the chamber

[@valentinsfotoparadies8708]

Absolutely! Glad to hear that you're taking care of it now! Such a wonderful little camera :)

Thanks a lot. I totally forgot about that "lifting up the lever/spool" thingy to open it. I got one from my father and it was resting in a box for tens of years. Now, I rediscovered it and will go shooting a test film this weekend. On the digital side of things, I just got a FUJIFILM X100 VI and I think those two will be best friends ... :-)

Does this camera have a plastic body ?

No, it has a really nice and solid metal body. Feels great!
