Thorsten Pöllath

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.

Technical Specifications:
Camera Type: 35mm Single Lens Reflex (SLR).

Film Type: 35mm (standard 135 film).

Lens: Konica Hexanon AR 50mm f/1.7 (Serial No. visible on front).

Condition Report:
Cosmetic: The camera is in excellent aesthetic condition. The black finish is well-preserved with minimal signs of wear. The leatherette body covering is tight and perfectly intact.

Optical: The Hexanon 50mm lens glass appears clear and free from significant scratches or fungus. The viewfinder is clear and functional.

Mechanical: The shutter fires accurately, the film advance mechanism is smooth, and the self-timer is operational.

Note: The light meter requires batteries (not included) and its laboratory accuracy has not been tested. As with all vintage precision instruments, a professional service is recommended for regular use.
