The TC does not have the circuitry to support a dedicated flash. Any auto flash will work by setting the flash to coordinate with the aperture setting of the...
Todd, Craig is correct about the dedicated flash units, but there are 'auto thyristor' flash units that can work in 'zones'. While I only have the Vivitar...
Ryuji Suzuki is an interesting fellow with many varied interests in photography and especially in photo chemistry. I believe he is or was a professor in...
Interesting collection of Konica cameras and lens on your favorite auction site; see #320180762731. Don't forget the LOW value of the USD Vs the Euro I don't...
I was getting some drawers searched on an eBay project and ran into a lens I had forgotten. It's a 70-210 Series One #37325101. It has a slightly bent filter...
I thought I would do some completely opinionated evaluation of my own short journey with Konica . . . I started less than a year ago, while doing research on...
Glad you are enjoying your Konicas. I have more Konica cameras than I care to count, and lenses from 15mm to 400mm Hexanon plus nearly all accessories. I...
I suppose there were a few exxagerations- such as, if you are wrong on exposure, you don't find out until a week later, etc. But truth is, I have yet to be...
Grabbed up one of these super-wides, and just do not use that kind of angle for more than one shot in a LONG time. I am going to put it up on eBay soon, as I...
Good luck to you and your Konicas, Dan. I was thinking about my first response and thought I would clarify my statement that I had long used Konica gear ...
Hi Daniel, My journey with Konica is sort of a return trip... It started with a T3N in 1976 and lasted for about ten years. The next twelve years or so mostly...
My journey starts Christmas 1976, not with a Konica but with a Zenit E, a camera lovingly carved in Russia out of a solid block of lead...... Too heavy for a...
It's a great time to buy Konica gear, but a bad time to sell it--I'm not sure there is going to be another good time. Lots of sellers, few buyers, equals low...
The first time I pushed a shutter was probably mom's Kodak Instamatic ... you know the one with the flash cubes. Somewhere in between I came into ownership of...
I started with Konica in 1980 with an FS-1 that lasted me for about 20 years and finally died the infamous circuit-board death. But with the advent of ebay, I...
... Dang man! Sorry about the break. Guess riding it out of the question for a while too. I'm think that even though I have the high value items (21, 85mm,...
I started with Konica in 1970 with a T-2 on the advice of a Minolta user when I explained the sort of pictures I wanted to take. Got a second body in 1971 and...
Hi and Happy Thanksgiving. I was looking at an extended (tele) metal hood for my Hexanon 85 lens. *Heavystar* on ebay sells them. Does anyone in the group have...
Hi Steve, I don't have any specific information concerning that particular lens hood, but I have used Konica's 65-135mm f4 zoom hood with my 85mm. It works...
Hi Gary, Thanks for the reply. Heavystar is on vacation until the end of the month, so I took a chance and bought an extended last night. Photo Xpres is...
Hey, you mentioned the 100mm f/2.8- if it is the Hexanon lens, you should try out the lens hood for it. I have used the original hood from the Hexanon 100mm...
I agree. I use a the 100mm 2.8 hood on the 85 with no problems. I really like metal screw on hoods. If someone is looking for a hood for the 135 F2.5 the best...
And not only in one way! You will all be pleased with my first admission. I got an 85mm Hexanon, although I had vowed that I would not . . . But all the...
Hello, I joined the group about a week ago. I am old to photography but new to Konica. I recently purchased a Autoreflex A 1000 and have been waiting for...
If your in the US or Canada go to http://www.webercamera.com, grab the 800 number off the contact info and give Greg Weber a call, Greg is the expert when it...
On the subject of Greg Weber, I spoke to Greg recently, and he doesn't seem too sure about how long he is going to continue working full time on the Konicas....
... Man, that really sucks. I know I don't have enough $$ to get a CLA these days but it would be a huge loss. On the other hand, it seems that the large...
Since I posted here.. but I have come to the realization that I am not using my Konica Stuff at all anymore. I think it is time to sell it.. Is Ebay still the...
Always best to sell separately, in my opinion. Don't expect much on eBay these days for the common stuff--only the rarer pieces seem to bring much, such as...
Personally I think Ebay is not the place for Konica stuff unless your willing to give it away. I get TC's with 2-3 lenses for 40-50 bucks all day. You...
