The included Konica Hexanon AR 40mm f1.8 is a very sharp and compact 'pancake' lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis the most compact of the uniformly superb Autoreflex series of SLRs; the trade-off for the smaller size and weight is that this model omits some less used features (eg depth of field preview) and slow shutter speeds of its full-sized, full-featured older siblings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe camera requires two 357 silver oxide batteries. This camera originally used 675 mercury cells but our testing found that 357 silver oxide cells were providing accurate metering. This indicates the camera was modified at some point for the use of these longer-lasting batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe film-tested the camera and it delivered sharp, correctly exposed photos. All shutter speeds were tested and showed good accuracy. Cosmetically it's in good condition except for some minor wear and the fact the leatherette is a bit shrunken (see photos). The included Konica Hexanon AR 40mm F1.8 lens is very good condition with a very snappy aperture mechanism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eManual\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.butkus.org\/chinon\/konica\/konica_autoreflex_tc\/autoreflex_tc-splash.htm\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.butkus.org\/chinon\/konica\/konica_autoreflex_tc\/autoreflex_tc-splash.htm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamera Type: 35mm TTL (Through-the-Lens metering) AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) SLR (Single-LensReflex)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm: Standard 35mm 20 or 36-exposure cassettes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: 24x36mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Focusing Distance: 21.7\" from film plane (50mm f\/1.7)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens Mount: Konica Bayonet (47mm diameter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlange\/Film Distance: 40.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture Control System: Automatically sets correct f\/stop (or fractional f\/stop) with all Konica Automatic Hexanon and Hexar lenses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShutter: Metallic, vertical-scanning Copal Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShutter Speeds: Convenient top-mounted selector for all speeds 1\/8th second to 1\/1000th second plus \"B\" (for time exposures)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlash Synchronization: Electronic flash synchronization at all speeds to and including 1\/125th second.
