Description from the seller
KONICA FP + Hexanon 52mm F1.8, tested and working.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Konica FP, introduced in 1962, is an early Konica SLR using the short-lived Konica F bayonet mount, here fitted with a sharp Konishiroku Hexanon 52mm f/1.8 lens. Solidly built with a mechanical focal-plane shutter, it is a handsome and collectible piece of Konica's SLR history.
Important — please read carefully:
The self-timer does not work and the lens has wipe marks on the rear element. 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: Wipe marks on the rear element — please check the photos
Viewfinder: Clean (cleaned inside)
Functional
The shutter fires at all speeds; speeds measured within the normal range (1/1 set: 1/0.9, 1/60 set: 1/64, 1/1000 set: 1/1100).
Light seals replaced.
Viewfinder cleaned inside.
Measured Performance
We check these cameras on a shutter tester rather than by ear, and we publish what we measured:
- 1 s — measured 1/0.9 s (approx. 0.2 stop slow)
- 1/60 — measured 1/64 s (approx. 0.1 stop fast)
- 1/1000 — measured 1/1100 s (approx. 0.1 stop fast)
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:
- Viewfinder cleaned internally
- Light seals (foam) replaced
Known Issues
1. The self-timer does not work.
2. Wipe marks on the rear element of the Hexanon 52mm f/1.8 (please check the photos).
