Konica FP

Purchased new in 1963, this 35mm SLR is an all-mechanical camera; no metering. The shutter is a Copal Square metal focal plane that travels vertically. The lens shown is a 52 mm f1.4 Hexanon which would probably look good against today's glass. The camera has been out of action with a shutter problem since 1981.

Ye Olde Photographer also has a 35 mm f2.8 wide angle for it plus a couple of longer cheap 3rd party T-mount lenses and a bellows.

Here is a small sampling of slides from 1963, '64 and '65.
