Here is my choices as a PM. According to age the hard core of members:  I have never seen Minister I here. Minister II and Minister III instead are rather common.  Both II and III are in working condition.  The rarest, Minister-700 is "flawless but not working" See the dent! Reijo |

Reijo I think the Minister I appeared as the Yashica - M, and didn't have the word Minister on the camera itself. I bought this one off eBay some time ago, with 'wide angle' and 'zoom' attachment lenses.  Regards - John |

Mickey,
I do not know, why you can not see images. They come straight from my site and at least I can see them on this thread.
Parry, you are right, there is no camera marked as Minister I. The Yashica M must be the first Minister.
It could have been Bill who wrote once, that why I don't have rangefinders. He made me purchase more of them.
The variety of my collection is "unbalanced" because of some reason I have been addicted to SLR cameras.
When I bought my first camera, SLR was in and I could not see any other choice, that might be a reason.
I do not argue, that this is would not not be true also today.
I have an aspiration to collect all types of cameras without any specialization. Something for everybody and mostly cheap and
common, no "collectibles". One of my friend has mentioned, that I am a guy who wants to live junk around;D Wise man he is.
