Konica C35

An Attractive Pocket-Sized Shooter...

This well-made and very attractive small 35mm camera has a lot of charm and a good lens with a minimum aperture of 2.8. The rangefinder window is very bright and easy to use with speed and aperture combinations clearly marked and indicated by a moving needle,  as long as the battery is installed that is. It is comparable in size to the Olympus 35 RC . This camera can only be used in automatic mode and requires a battery. You adjust the ASA and focus and the camera decides the rest. The camera has a self-timer. There is a flash cable entry on the side and a flash hot-shoe at the top. 

 Overall a solid beauty. Too bad it doesn't have a manual mode, it would give the Olympus 35RC a good run for the money with that nice body and very nice Hexanon ƒ2,8 lens.

Seagull 4-A

Seagull 4-A 202 TLR A Nice Camera As I have said before, I am not a big fan of Twin Lens Reflex cameras but I must say they are nice looking. I just find the perspective is odd even though the sharpness is excellent generally speaking. Also, they're a little clumsy to carry and operate... I guess I could get used to them, they do have their charm. This is Model 4-A is the pro version, the 4-B is the budget consumer version. This Seagull uses 6x6, 120 film (A mask may be available for 6x4.5cm). It has an exposure help diagram on a knob on the right. It has a leaf shutter so can synch flash at any speed. It is basically a copy of a Rolleiflex.

Miranda RE A Capable Japanese Built Camera... A very versatile and professional 35mm film camera. It does have a light meter. The viewfinder can be removed like a Nikon F for example. This was a serious camera in its days, it just never really made to the top of the charts.
