Condition: Good

Reliable, versatile, and convenient to use, the Konica T3 Bundle w/ 50 mm f/1.4, 28 mm f/3.5, and 135 mm f/3.2 is a practical choice for a variety of photography tasks. It features the Autoreflex focal-plane-shutter auto-exposure system that prioritizes the shutter when you set exposures. This is essential for automatically selecting the aperture, depending on the shutter speed. You can adjust the ISO sensitivity between 12 and 3,200. The built-in viewfinder of the camera offers ample clarity for analyzing scenes before taking pictures. Although the camera is operated mechanically, the CdS light meters are powered by two PX675-type mercury batteries.

Optics and Focus

The T3 camera from Konica comes with three AR-mount lenses for various applications: 50 mm f/1.4 lens, 135 mm f/3.2 lens, and 28 mm f/3.5 lens. Each of these produces a variable result that is perfect for a range of applications. The advanced Autoreflex focal-plane-shutter auto-exposure system enables the camera to prioritize the shutter while setting exposures, so that it can automatically select the appropriate aperture based on the shutter speed. The ISO sensitivity of the camera can be adjusted from 12 to 3,200. Use the self-timer for previewing the field depth and adjusting the aperture. You need to just push the button on the lever hub and turn the lever counter-clockwise for using the self-timer. Moreover, the shutter-cocking indicator tells you whether the shutter is cocked or not by lighting up in green or red, respectively.

Sensor and Screen

The Konica T3’s inbuilt viewfinder provides you with a decent amount of clarity and brightness for viewing scenes before clicking photographs. Also, for added practicality, you can adjust the aperture and shutter speed in the viewfinder.

Image and Video

This SLR camera from Konica uses a 35-mm film roll for capturing photos in the 2.4x3.5-cm format. The film can be advanced manually with the help of the lever on the top whenever a photo is taken.

Other Features

The T3 offers a provision for mounting a flash for taking high-quality photographs, even in low-light areas. For an intuitive user experience, the shutter-speed dial is neatly integrated with the multiple-exposure switch. Unlike conventional SLR cameras, this camera is built with steel screws, instead of the commonly used brass screws, for added durability. Even though the camera operates mechanically, its CdS light meters run on two PX675-type mercury batteries.
