Description from the seller
KONICA Acom-1 + Hexanon AR 50mm F1.7, tested and working.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Konica Acom-1 (1976), sold abroad as the Autoreflex TC, was Konica's compact, lightweight shutter-priority SLR for the enthusiast market, using the Konica AR bayonet. It pairs a Copal vertical-travel metal shutter with simple, reliable automatic exposure. It is offered here with the Hexanon AR 50mm f/1.7, one of the finest standard lenses of its day — Hexanon glass has a devoted following for its sharpness and rendering.
Important — please read carefully:
The viewfinder shows dark marks from prism deterioration and the lens has some dust inside. Please review the photos before bidding.
Condition: Used — Good
Pre-owned, heavy signs of use, or minor optical flaws
Serial Number
Please check the photo.
Appearance
Scuffs and scratches from normal use. Please check the photos for details.
Optical Condition
Lens: Fine dust on the rear element
Prism: Deterioration visible as dark marks at the edge of the viewfinder
Functional
Meter and shutter work; measured shutter speeds and exposure are accurate.
Light seals replaced.
Measured Performance
We check these cameras on a shutter tester rather than by ear, and we publish what we measured:
- 1/60 — measured 1/64 s (approx. 0.1 stop fast)
- 1/1000 — measured 1/910 s (approx. 0.1 stop slow)
- Light meter accuracy — EV12: 0.4 UNDER / EV15: 0.1 UNDER
Negative film has enough latitude to absorb deviations of this size, but the figures are here so you can judge for yourself.
Servicing
This camera was serviced by us before listing:
- Light seals (foam) replaced
Known Issues
1. Prism deterioration: dark marks are visible at the edge of the viewfinder (does not affect the pictures).
2. Fine dust on the rear element of the lens.
