Hi Jaques, I saw that strange-looking FT-1, too. One of those industrially adapted cameras that Alan referred to in a previous conversation about date/data...

-- I don't have a diagram for the 50 mm lens but I do have some advice ...It is fairly simple but You'd better watch all the little banjo type springs. If one...
Hi Doug; About 2 months ago I started a thread about the Tamron 500mm f/8 mirror lens. I bought it used on an auction site. I got a wealth of knowledge from...
Gary, Thanks for the info about this lens. I only currently use Konica SLR's, but it's nice to know that I could use Tamron's with other lines, maybe even...
Gary, Glad to hear you are making progress. I may have mentioned this before. If you are hand-held, you will need to be at 1/500th or faster on shutter speed....
Hi Jon; It's nice to hear that other folks use Tamron lenses as well. In fact I have two Tamron lenses. The 500mm SP55 of course and a 85-210 Tamron zoom. I...

Wow ! That sweet little "TC-X" . I caught one on auction last year that was nearly new . Every one seems to think it is just a toy . First of all I like the...
... year that was nearly new . Every one seems to think it is just a toy . First of all I like the idea of using a single "aaa" battery to power it up . Except...
I seem to have read somewhere that the Konica TC-X was NOT made by Konica, but that they had it manufactured by another Japanese camera maker. Do any of those...
Hi Bill, That's correct. It was made for Konica by Cosina. I always found it interesting that they chose to go with a primarily mechanical camera, after...
Hi, Alan, Bill, I go along with all Alan says - I have a couple of near-'disposable' TCX's to throw around - but yes that shutter does 'clunk'. Cosina also...
Dave, Yes, and a chunkier grip to go with it -- so obviously a different tooling to make it, thus a distinct model - my guess is that some local market said AA...
Dan, I've always heard that there were 2 models but never found a AA body. I wonder what coporate think came up with that idea back in the '80's? AAA was fine...
Hi, Yes, I've had both AAA and AA versions of TC-X. I no longer have the AA, sold it a while ago, sorry to say. Kept the AAA version, which was in extra nice...
Hi my cameras: TC-X (AA) number 284xxx TC-X (AAA) numbers 139xxx, 297xxx sorry - doesn't help much, possibly suggesting made at same time for different markets...
Maybe AAA batteries were much harder to find or much more expensive then AA in some markets. By the way,there was an A battery and there exists an AAAA...
