Same here~ This morning I spent more time in the AI swamp and was able to confirm -insofar as this is possible, that it's the AIs version with the Gauss optical formula, and was likely made between 1987 and 1995. Cheers, OtL

Another coffee, another lokum. It has been a good day.

I always exercise caution when dealing with photography involving liquids and cameras. And of course I did so in this particular work. But as you point out in your response, at least from the perspective of what might happen if the cup of coffee spilled on the camera, I would be less concerned...
In any case, after what this camera, which once belonged to the Israeli Navy, has been through, no cup of coffee will scare it.

I decided to test this Zorki 4k (and the turret viewfinder) that I recently got for nothing in the garage sale (well, I paid 75 EUR, but this has already been recovered by selling Akarette camera which was the part of the deal). Black decaf goes well with the black half case and black lens:

Well, I confess to a IIIf, M2, M4, and M5 so I guess I shouldn't complain ...

CR, I sold the CL anniversary.....& not long after a friend gave me his CL with both the 40mm Summicron C & the 90 f4.... they just find me. Currently the lllg is getting lots of use

I considered a CL briefly, but even DAG won't touch them anymore because of lack of parts, as I understand it. Also, it would solve no problem that the existing lot cannot handle ... so I tell myself. OTOH, if I find one at a flea market for $100, I'd buy it 😉

Strange.... DAG worked on my 50 Anniversary CL and changed the meter cell.... 2 short yrs ago....& Don told me he had parts including the plastic takeup spool that occasionally breaks. He also opined that the camera is much more robust than people give it credit for.

Brilliant camera. I have a Vivitar knockoff, the 35ES, that is quite interesting in terms of size and ergonomics. Of course the Vivitar lens is not a match for the Konica.

Let's go through this issue and see if there is any nice ad to post to the relative thread. I love the point&shoot ME with the tiny 28mm.

Yes! And tell us what the worlds best camera is (was?).
