【Fully Functional, Beautiful Optics】 Konica III A 48mm F/2 Film Camera

【Refurbished KONICA III A 48mm F/2 Lens Rangefinder Film Camera】

Released in 1958, this is a high-end model of Konica's representative rangefinder camera. It features a 1:1 viewfinder with automatic parallax correction, and its bright, large, and very clear view made it a popular camera, known as the living viewfinder for stress-free photography.


【Exterior】
The entire camera has been cleaned.
While there are signs of use commensurate with its age (minor scuffs and small scratches that are difficult to capture in photos), the covering is in good condition, and overall it is in very good, beautiful condition.
There is no damage to the viewfinder frame.
Please zoom in on the photos and check carefully, as this is a subjective assessment.
The light seals (molt) were in good condition, so they have been left as is.


【Optics】
Viewfinder:
Very clear.
There is a slight amount of dust inside and minor coating imperfections, but they do not affect visibility at all.

Lens:
There is a slight amount of dust, but it is very clear and does not affect shooting.
No mold or haze.


【Operation】

Bulb mode also functions.
The shutter blades have been disassembled and cleaned, so the shutter operates smoothly.
The shutter cocking lever (double action) is smooth.
The timer functions.
