This specific unit represents the peak of Konica's \"tank-like\" era, where every dial and lever was over-engineered to provide a lifetime of service. The 50mm f\/1.7 Hexanon lens included in this kit is a cult favorite among film photographers; it is prized for its \"clinical\" resolution and natural, warm color rendition. The Shutter-Priority system was revolutionary, allowing photographers to lock in a speed for action or street scenes while the camera automatically managed the aperture. Whether you are building a vintage collection or seeking a rugged daily shooter that can survive any environment, the Autoreflex A3 delivers a tactile, intentional shooting experience that modern cameras cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The camera body shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its vintage age. The Hexanon AR 50mm f\/1.7 lens is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or scratches. The internal Copal metal shutter has been tested and is firing accurately across all speeds. The film transport mechanism is smooth, and the advance lever is crisp. The light meter is responsive, and the aperture blades on the lens are clean, snappy, and free of oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/b\u003e \"The Autoreflex A3 is a 'brick' in the best way possible—it feels incredibly substantial and reliable in your hands. What I love about this kit is the lens; the 50mm f\/1.7 Hexanon is legendary for a reason. In many independent tests from the 70s, it outperformed almost every other manufacturer's standard lens for sharpness and micro-contrast. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that doesn't need to apologize for its weight because that weight translates to stability and quality. For anyone wanting to experience the 'Golden Age' of mechanical SLRs with elite glass, this A3 is a top-tier choice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eKonica Autoreflex A3 35mm SLR Body\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eKonica Hexanon AR 50mm f\/1.7 Prime Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eFront Lens Cap\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: 35mm SLR Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Konica AR Mount\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eShutter: Copal Square-S Vertical Metal Focal Plane\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eShutter Speeds: 1s to 1\/1000s + Bulb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
