First Results with Konica II Rangefinder Camera

[raid]

During the same beach visit in which I tried out the Fuji Natura P&S camera, I also tried out a Konica II rangefinder camera. I got this camera for little money from a gentleman here on RFF. I like this camera a lot. It is fully manual, and its 50mm/2.8 lens seems to be very sharp, just as it is mentioned by some users online.

The Konica III is far more expensive, and it can reach $300. The Konica II is a bargain in that respect. Here are a few more shots. Hope you like them. The rangefinder is clear and the shutter speeds seem to be right. The camera look is awesome [for me].

Bill: I am glad that you do. This camera reminded me that it is possible to extract a lot from old, inexpensive rangefinder cameras. It is the lens the lens the lens ...and a lens hood! I managed to squeeze an old Zeiss Contina lens hood on the lens.
