Hello everyone,
I have an FT-1 motor with many accessories in Mint- condition. It pains me to sell this equipment, but I have only used it three times in...
Hello all, about six months ago I made a switch from being a devoted 33 year Mamiya 1000 DTL and C3 user to a reluctant Konica user. My wife has been using ...
What are the steps in the progression of development of this lens..and which was the best version. Are old metal barrel versions better than later ones? ...
Hi Tom, The 28/3.5 was made throughout the Autoreflex line. There appears to have been no 28mm offered in the early mount lens line, widest Konishiroku lens I...
... lens..and ... There is a late version hexanon f3.5 to f22 with the rubber focus ring. I have it and an earlier chrome aperture ring model. The earlier...
I've only been around one of these that a casual user acquaintance acquired with some other Konica stuff. This one was decidedly soft and as they were built...
Saw this at ebay Germany today: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3005608418&category=10598 It is a Konica lightmeter II. What is this thing...
Manuel, This is a CdS cell light meter designed for use on the Konica F seried SLRs from the first half of the 60's. In particular it is for the FS and FP, ...
Hi Manuel, The Light Meter II is designed to work with the old-mount Konica FS camera specifically. There is a small clamp which attaches to the collar under...
Hi, I certainly don't want to speak poorly of your particular lens! I've got probably four or five 28mm Hexanons, but I don't think I have ever owned the...
Hi all, I'm trying to identify a battery out of an old rangefinder camera (Sears ES-35 or Ricoh Super Shot 1.7). Unfortunately, the single, old dead battery...
Hi again, For those of you who think in metric terms, the puzzle battery measures 16mm long and 16mm in diameter (okay, I guess that actually makes it as...
Alan: This sounds like the same battery that was used in the Canonet QL19E. I can't recall the number but it was rated at 1.35 volts. I haven't been able to...
Alan -- is it possibly the PX1 (aka E1N)? It's 16mm in diameter by 16.5mm high, currently available here: http://www.photobattery.com/index.html as the A1PX....
Sorry, but I just need to ask. I am able to keep my Konicas, I had them up for sale on photo.net but I'm actually going to try to sell some other stuff and...
Eric -- AE or EE, it makes no difference in terms of compatibility with the camera bodies -- both fit the Konica AR mount. The AE designation appears on newer...
... Great! I actually did a lens test (non-scientific) this weekend. Got a roll of Sensia and and tried full open and a few stops down per lens with partial...
I`m looking at a Konica catalog of lenses and accessories, dated 9/72....All lenses are referred to as Hexanon,carry the EE designation, and are all black.I...
... [snip] ... I'd say....jeeez. An F2 is more than double the T! However, look at the difference. Minolta XK -- can have motor drive, Nikon F2, can use ...
Hey Alan - sounds like it might be a PX1A (old name Mallory RM1), the same as in my Minolta Electro Shot and in one of the Canonet QL19s I've owned (the other...
To be a bit more realistic, the comparable cameras at the time were things like the Nikkormat FTn, the Canon FTb and the Minolta SRT-101, all of which had...
All, Two questions for fun: 1. What Konica SLR body sold the MOST? (I'm GUESSING either the TC or FT-1 -- does anyone have a feeling or Know The Answer?) 2....
Tom, If I had to bet I'd say the TC sold the most copies with a combination of its product lifetime and cost. Indeed, the all caps Konica is the oldest....
Just pulled out my two TC's (one each with "KONICA" and "Konica") and my T4. The tops of the TC and T4 are not identical. The pentaprism on the T4 is different...
Hi Eric, You're right that the T can't take the Autowinder AR. The only mechanical Konica body that can is the T4. In the electronic bodies, the FS-1 and FT-1...
