The Konica Pop is a colorful plastic point and shoot, without any pretensions, but which is quite surprising. If this camera had come out in the 2000s, it would not have shocked anyone.
Avant-garde in design, but especially in colors, Konica released the Konica Pop in 1982 in 8 different color variations. From yellow to red, including green or pink, everyone can find what they are looking for.
This 35mm point and shoot is the perfect definition of simplicity . A cocking lever, a flash and a shutter release, that's it. Enough to please novices or those who really don't want to bother.
More or less rare depending on the stocks produced at the time, a small treasure hunt is currently being organized among collectors to bring together the 8 color variations.
The lens, a fixed focus Hexanon 36mm f/4, is successful for this rather basic range of cameras. The shutter speed is fixed, so be careful in situations that are too bright. The diaphragm, which is regulated by a small cell, has its limits (between f/4 and f/11). The advice we give you is to shoot 100 ISO films and to take out the flash as soon as the red light indicates it.
According to the famous McKeown's camera buying guide from the 90s, the order of rarity would be: Black, red, silver, blue, yellow, green, pink and khaki.
Being big fans of this device at BromureFilm, expect to see it available on the store regularly in all its variations.
