Home/Catalogue/SLRs/Konica Autoreflex TC + Konica AR 50mm F1.7

About this camera.

The Konica Autoreflex TC — a well-built aperture-priority SLR from the mid-1970s, paired with Konica's superb AR 50mm f/1.7 normal lens. The Autoreflex TC is known for its solid construction and smooth handling; the 50mm f/1.7 is a genuinely excellent fast normal with clean, contrasty rendering. Honest disclosure: the light meter is unreliable — it turns on intermittently — so this kit should be considered a manual/meter-off shooting setup. The shutter and all mechanical functions work correctly.
