Nice looking camera. The images look sharp. Is that a Cessna 120 in the second set?

Nice, very nice. Love that Corsair in the first set. I'm still keeping my eye peeled for a Konica I, II or III.

I don't know all cameras ever built, but I know many. I had never seen/heard of Konica II cameras. I like it! Thanks for posting!

It's a great camera, I have one. The lens is a Heliar design (5 elements in 3 groups). It's the earliest 50mm Heliar I have seen. It's not razor sharp but it does produce a nice bokeh. It's smooth, not at all busy. Overall, it produces excellent images.
