Something from a "modern" film camera. I spent a wet and windy afternoon, snow in the air, repairing a Konica 35C AF, a plastic monstrosity that has the distinction of being the world's first production Auto-Focus camera. The battery compartment was badly corroded but I eventually succeeded in getting some current flowing and, as the camera appeared to be functioning, I loaded up a short length of Kentmere 100 and dashed outside during a break in the showers. The results were surprisingly good, the 35mm Hexanon f/2.8 lens is right up to Konica standards, and the auto-everything-else seems to be reasonably accurate. After one sets the ISO there's nothing else one can do but point the camera at a subject and take the shot. Apparently the camera sold like hot cakes despite a high price tag, and it's achieved a sort of iconic status, and certainly a place in history. I attach a couple of samples of no artistic merit but technically indicative of what the camera can do. I'm tempted to run a full-length film...
