    Gee, not much going on here! I'll pick it up again: I just did a part cash/ part trade for an Autoreflex A + 52/1.8, along with an earlier version of the 135/3.2 and the late 200/4. Two 675 hearing aid batteries fired up the meter, and it looks accurate. The A had several versions; this is the one sometimes referred to as the A2 -- dates from about 1971. A long time ago now! The glass is very clean on all the lenses, and the 200 came in the original box. I think it's never been used.

    Hello everyone.

    I'm still using the first Konica SLR I bought when I was young. THe good old Konica TC-X. Why did I get that, well it was the only camera on the market that had shutter priority and thats what I wanted, Still using it now as the primary camera, even though ebay calls to me to buy loads of M42 screw mount equipment
    And 120
    And 6x9
    well you know what its like

    Hi all -- I went through a big-time "Konica phase" a few years ago and own several T3 bodies, and a few of the other SLR models, and a number of the Hexanon lenses. I also own several rangefinder models, including the original Konica rangefinder, the S2 and S3, the Hexar (autofocus) and Hexar RF. I also own a Rapid 100 and the lenses for it.

    I trust people here know about Greg Weber in Nebraska -- he's the #1 Konica repair guy.

    I've got two Konica bodies, both AutoreflexTCs. In addition, I've got a 50mm f1.7 lens, a 28mm, a 80-210mm zoom, a 135mm telephoto (two identical lenses), and a 2X teleconverter.

    I have a Konica IIIA. It's nice, and I want to use it, but the lens housing is loose and out of alignment. Can anyone recommend any repair services, info or resources for this?

    Hey.

    I have an S2 that I bought 20 bucks with stuck blades and an unglued rangefinder mirror. I repaired that and resealed with an interslice (awesome!) kit.

    I also have a T3 with a 57 f1.4 and 40 f1.8 Hexanon and a few other vivitar zooms. I have my eye out for a 21mm Hexanon. This is a tank and I love it, I have been debating a flashy recovering from cameraleather.com but the original is in such good shape that I really can't justify it.

    I have an Auto S2 as well. Unfortunately with a broken light meter. The mechanics seem to work and the check-battery function works, but nothing else happens. It was only $20, but still a bit annoying to attempt Sunny 16 when you're inside. It's a wonderful camera though.

    So, what pieces of Konica goodness are people using here? I've got an Auto S2 that I love, and a Rapid 100 that I got extremely cheaply that I haven't actually used yet (I'm told the back *might* be suspect, but shouldn't overlap, but for the price I paid it's not a big deal).
