Konica FS-1 35mm SLR with Hexanon AR 40mm f/1.8 pancake lens, in very good physical condition and tested and functioning, dating from 1970–1980.
Description from the seller
The camera in the image is a Konica FS-1, a historic model introduced in the late seventies that marked an important technical evolution, being the first 35mm film SLR with built-in motorized film advance for automatic winding. This specimen presents itself in its classic black body and mounts a pancake lens highly appreciated by collectors and photographers: the Konica Hexanon AR 40mm f/1.8, known for its exceptional sharpness, great brightness, and extremely compact size. On the front, you can see the aperture selector with the automatic AE mode, typical of the Konica system. The overall aesthetic shows the distinctive design traits of the era, with a solid grip on the right side that houses the battery compartment. At the bottom, removed from the body, the original lens cap is visible with the Konica logo printed in white. The item combines the charm of vintage collecting with the practicality of a fixed focal-length optic considered among the best in its class for color rendition and contrast. An ideal piece to enhance a display case or for lovers of traditional analog film photography."} |} }';
