Konica mt 7 review

The Konica Pop is a s point-and-shoot that was released in eight exciting colors. I bought the green one. I then spent every day of my latest vacation shooting my green Konica Pop.

For many of us, a high-quality fixed lens 35mm film point-and-shoot is on the bucket list — a camera that we can carry around everywhere and about which we will not get too upset if it gets lost, broken, or stolen. In deciding a camera to acquire, for me there are really only two essential inquiries: 1 is the lens relatively fast and sharp? However, having a small obsession with Konica-branded cameras my father having purchased his Autoreflex T during Vietnam War-era service , I have been attempting to track down some of its lesser-known products to see if they are any good. The s saw the rise of cameras that permitted users to take good photos without such knowledge. From the introduction of the C35 rangefinder in until the unveiling of the C35AF in the first consumer autofocus camera , Konica was on top of the compact camera game although its SLRs were always a step or two behind. The C35AF, while impressively beating all others to market, lacked a few essential features.

It did seem to do a good job, overall, with exposure. I find mine to be an excellent camera for travel.

I spend a lot of time at thrift stores, usually in search of records, clothes or cameras. I can browse through the music department for hours, try on jacket after jacket just to put them all back, and scan the electronics section for anything camera-shaped in seconds. Hitting up these stores is such a fun Saturday activity, and gladly my girlfriend enjoys it as much as I do. If you are at these venues as often as I am, you will eventually start to notice which products are more likely to fly off the shelves. Brand clothing and s records are top sellers. Point-and-shoot and foldable cameras do not sit for long, either. But certain things are real shelf warmers: Konica cameras, for example. Outside of the thrift shop, among the blogosphere and on camera culture YouTube channels, Konica seems a bit overlooked.

A few months ago I found one at a flea market — red — and was so tempted to buy it. I have a pink pop with the konica lens. Regardless, loaded it up with a roll and took some test shots. Here are a few sample photos taken on Kodak Portra The MT is no exception. Shooters who want images that exhibit the traditionally accepted notion of quality, however, should not buy it. The pre-shot autofocusing is completely silent. I used to carry a red one to music festivals for years and the results always pleased me. With climate change being a hot topic, at least your Pop comes with green credentials. Thanks very much.

Photos may not do the MT justice. Thanks very much. It is a really handsome, well-designed camera. David November 22, at am.

Manufactured in by Japanese camera-makers Konica, the Konica Pop also called the EFJ in Japan was a low-price, low-feature, easy-to-use camera marketed to potential buyers so casual about photography as to be nearly uninterested. Looks pretty much identical — bonus! November 23, at pm. Thank you for your kind words, James. Terry B November 22, at am. Unless you love its pretty face. The shutter release is exactly where it should be, and the flash-activation button is operated with a single left-hand index finger. I also have two of these cameras in red and green every time I see those this reminds me of my childhood and my father.
