Hi Paul, It's Kodak Gold 200. It's the lens that I was impressed with, not expecting that kind of colors and resolution from a big heavy zoom :) I haven't yet...
My "old faithful" is refusing to wind film on properly. When I load the film everything works as normal except that the film isn't taken up properly. It's as...
Bruce, It's a fairly standard problem. As you surmised, there is a rubber foam 'bumper' right in the middle, starting where the hinge is. Your mission,...
Q-tips with Ronsonol lighter fluid will come in handy to clean the gunk. Tweezers might help on the bigger pieces. Be careful not to get lighter fluid on the...
If you don't have the time to mess with removing the old material, or you're afraid of causing further commotion, a wide piece of regular magic tape placed...
Hi; If one seal has gone "gooey", chances are that the others cannot be far behind. Summer heat and humididty seem to accelerate the process! There is a great...
Thanks guys - I'm going to get the Ronseal out tonight and get rid of that gunk. Steve's right about the seals: they do need to be replaced although they're...
The following lenses and accessories are from the inventory of Rose City Sound in Portland, Oregon they have been used and rented but unless noted are in good...

If folks want to reply please please do so privately. Just because conversations are fewer and farther between doesn't mean we need to become a flea market. ...
Greetings; I've been reading this group occasionaly for some time now. I know it offers good advice from the Konica SLR experts, those folks that have the...
Hello, here's to share my joy of another find: an elegant neck-strap made by Arukas of Konica. For those not familiar with the name "Arukas", it's a sub-brand...
Gary, The long focal length Hexanons will set you back almost as much as "L" glass. Have a look in the pictures section at some of the Vivitar 500 and 600mm...
I am wondering about the manual f-stop indicator in the view finder on my T3. I have a 50/1.7 and 135/3.5, and both show the manual f-stop triangle shaped...
Hi Gary, Well, if asked for a recommendation for a 500mm lens for Konica, I'm afraid I'd have suggested the Tamron SP 500/8 mirror as about the best choice out...
Hi Andy, Um, that's not an f-stop indicator. It's the other way around... a light meter readout that indicates what f-stop you should be setting on the lens,...
... finder on ... but it ... away ... or is ... Great and straightforward advice. I have a TC in which the internal metering system no longer functions, but...
I think you misunderstood my explanation (I don't know the correct terms, yet) - the needle on my camera moves, but the bump doesn't. I just put in a new zinc...
I forgot to answer the second question about the aperture: I can close the aperture with the lense mounted if I swing the little lever on the front of the...
Cameras in the T series originally used 1.35v mercury cells, as these are no longer available there are two solutions. 1) The Zinc air batteries are close, and...
Several bits visible in the viewfinder of the T3 on the righ-hand side of the viewfinder: I little 'M' that appears if an AR lens is taken off its EE or AE ...
1. Little 'M' - I have that, and it turns on and off accordingly when I take my lenses off AR setting. 2. Red transparent blind - I have that and it moves...
Andy, I just happened to have my black T-3 with me this morning, and the black 'bump' is also at the top. But there is a very tiny red area between F8 and...
Hi again Andy, No, the "bump" isn't supposed to move. There's nothing broken in your camera. You can just ignore the little "bump" up there near the top...
Hi; I was going through some of the older Hexanon lenses that I have and find that I have two Hexanon 1.4's. One is a 57mm with a silver middle ring and EE...
Alan; Thank you for the wonderful information regarding lenses and the Konica T-4 camera. I've been frustrated with the Tamron 500mm lens but I've concluded...
Hello Gary, Do you wear glasses? Do you use a corrective eyepiece on the T4? I have a Makinon 500mm mirror lens that I found very tricky to get good results ...
