Up for auction is a robust and highly capable Konica Autoreflex TC, a compact 35mm Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera manufactured in Japan by Konica during the late 1970s. Known for its portability and legendary "tank-like" reliability, the Autoreflex TC was a popular choice for photographers who demanded high-quality optics in a more manageable frame. This camera is equipped with one of the most respected standard lenses of its era: the Konica Hexanon AR 50mm f/1.7. Hexanon lenses are celebrated by enthusiasts for their exceptional sharpness and color rendition, often rivaling professional glass from more expensive systems. The Autoreflex TC features a shutter-priority automatic exposure system, allowing for quick operation in changing light conditions.
