Hello guys... I have never been on one of these boards. My Grandson says best way to get good info. Bear with me.
I acquired a Konica Auto - Reflex Chrome body from a camera store in 1984. They had taken it in on trade from a police dept that went all medium format. This camera had no info but I collected Konica and put it in my showcase. I noticed that it had some kind of bayonet mount on the back. I assumed it was for a watch ti time stamp neg. several years later I met the retired head of ID who purchased it for the Vice Squad he saib in the 1960's. He sort of remembered a watch that in his words" was not worth a ... "He said they had a 80 200 Hexanon , 400mm Hexanon, military surplus Infared flash and a Questar lens. No telling what happened to those! or if it actually existed.... OK fast forward I got very sick had to sell off 99% of collection, But now my 14 yo Grandson has become very interested in photography. I have detailed every thing I have left except this Auto - Reflex, Any one got any info on this camera. Thanks
