Just wanted to create a dedicated Konica camera thread here in the "Film SLR and Compact" subforum world. Would love to chat with others that have fallen for their cameras and glass to a greater or lesser extent over the years. Photos taken with or of Konica film cameras, stories of, opinions about, etc etc.
I nearly necroposted on Chris's thread here:
Konica - PentaxForums.com
... but 13 years seemed a bit too far removed (plus it's in the digital section).
Chris, if you read this I'd be curious to know who it was that you mentioned did some repairs for your Konica Autoreflex T4 you picked up back in '09 (you mentioned getting quotes from the renowned Mr. Weber as well) and how those turned out. It seems I plunged down a similar Konica hole some 7 years after you did.
If I'm honest, my love of and infatuation for Konica has all but eclipsed Asahi Pentax for (sacrilege!) to some extent ... it's close at any rate.
I'll post about my growing collection and photos etc here as time goes on, and hope to hear/read experiences of other others as well!
To start it off this was the shot that began everything for me, taken by my wife using a Konica C35 EF zone-focus camera that had been my grandmother's, and one that I'd ignored for its plasticy appearance for months after receiving. When I scanned this roll in however, everything changed!
The C35 EF that took the above at back left, and the next two additions from several years back, a C35 FD (bright-cap JDM version of the Auto S3) and an Auto S2.
