The '''Hi-Matic 11''' by [[Minolta]] is a Japanese [[35mm]] [[rangefinder camera]] - introduced in 1969.  It is similar to the [[Minolta Hi-Matic 9]]. Like the 9, the 11 has an automatic exposure program, automatic flash control, and the Contrast Light Compensator (CLC) meter, offering better metering in high contrast situations (which is explained further on the [[Minolta Hi-Matic 7s]] page).  Unlike the 9, it has [[shutter priority]] mode and no aperture ring.  The three modes, automatic program, shutter priority, and automatic flash control constitute the "Super 3 Circuit" branded on the front.  This was the last of the large Hi-Matics (7, 7S, 9, 11), and possibly offers the best user experience of the group.

The Hi-Matic 11 by Minolta is a Japanese 35mm rangefinder camera - introduced in 1969. It is similar to the Minolta Hi-Matic 9. Like the 9, the 11 has an automatic exposure program, automatic flash control, and the Contrast Light Compensator (CLC) meter, offering better metering in high contrast situations (which is explained further on the Minolta Hi-Matic 7s page). Unlike the 9, it has shutter priority mode and no aperture ring. The three modes, automatic program, shutter priority, and automatic flash control constitute the "Super 3 Circuit" branded on the front. This was the last of the large Hi-Matics (7, 7S, 9, 11), and possibly offers the best user experience of the group.
