I was watching a Konica T3 for auction on Ebay UK it had a Hexanon f 1:1.2 lens. It sold, this morning for nearly £194! There's gold in them old cameras (some)!

It was the F1.2 lens that made that price HIGH.

At least they didn't sell the lens seperately like they so often do these days Doug

Just collected a Konica EE-Matic DeLuxe from a buyer, was sold for charity. Nice tidy camera with a good case and scruffy original box appears to work OK. Found that there is a partly exposed Kodak film in it. Now, the only thing I can do with the film is to dispose of it because I have no way of knowing what might be on it!
Also waiting for a Konica FC-1 from Ebay for £5 described as not working, but it has a Konica Hexanon 100mm lens fitted. Could be interesting, especially as I suspect it might be a battery problem. In any case I have a good FC-1 so the next one will be kept for spares. Also bought a new unused Tamrac 5515 SLR pouch for £0.99p.

Just obtained a working Konica FP-1 with a nice clean 50mm f 1.8 lens for £6.And coming in the post - a Konica Autoreflex T3N! with a 50mm Lens. Seller says that the meter doesn't work, we will see...
Edit. The Konica T3 N has arrived with a very nice clear f1.7 Hexanon, the camera is clean and the winder, shutter/mirror assembly seems to work as it should and is very noisy as some reviews have noted. The battery compartment is clean and empty, I am not going to do anything about finding the right battery diode etc. as this one is just for the collection, nice contrast with the T3 and the other later Konica SLR and I think that it is a good buy at £14.50p......... However the focus ring is bare painted metal, the knurled ring has escaped somewhere, so now looking for a Konica f1.7 Hexanon AR with internal problems but a nice focusing grip! This was obvious in the picture on the listing and I missed it. I would have bought it anyway...........

In reference to my other posts, I am now looking for a Hexanon f1.7 50mm with an intact soft focusing ring . Perhaps an example with fungus or other internal problems. Or, just the ring, to save postage.
