Konica Autoreflex TC 35mm SLR film camera with 50mm f1.7 lens
Description:
The Autoreflex TC is a more compact and accessible sibling of the legendary Konica T3, sharing the same Konica AR mount and the same excellent Hexanon optics in a noticeably smaller and lighter body. Introduced in 1976, it was designed to bring Konica's shutter priority auto exposure and fully mechanical shutter to a wider audience without compromising on build quality. The metal frame remains solid and well made, the shutter fires without any battery at all, and the exposure lock built into the shutter release makes handling backlit scenes easy. The 50mm f1.7 Hexanon is the classic standard lens for this system, sharp, fast, and beautifully made. A practical, dependable, and very enjoyable camera for anyone who wants a capable manual SLR with access to Konica's fine lens range.

Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can't guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn't an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture we recommend using an external light-meter or for you to take our online course that will teach you how to use a film camera without the use of any external tools.
