About this camera The Konica III of 1956 is one of the finest Japanese rangefinders of the 1950s. Konishiroku gave it a distinctive lever-wind on the front of the lens barrel, a bright 1:1 viewfinder with a coupled rangefinder and a Seikosha-MXL leaf shutter, paired with the sharp Hexanon 48mm f/2.4 lens. Solidly built from metal throughout, it remains a satisfying, fully mechanical camera to use today.
