Hypernuclear production by the (e, e'K+) reaction has unique advantages in hypernuclear spectroscopy of the S = -1 regime. The second-generation spectroscopy experiment on C-12, Li-7 and Si-21 targets has been recently carried out at JLab Hall C with a new experimental configuration (Tilt method) and also using a new high-resolution kaon spectrometer (HKS). The experiment is described and preliminary results are presented together with the empasis of significance of the (e, e' K+) reaction for A hypernuclear spectroscopy and its future prospects.
