Konica Pop Pink 35mm Film Camera
History and Presentation of the Device:
The Konica Pop is a simple and unassuming plastic compact camera that nevertheless managed to stand out thanks to its bold design and bright colors. It was released in 1982 by Konica in eight different color variants, ranging from yellow to red, green and pink. This avant-garde design made it a camera in its own right and contributed to its appeal.
The Konica Pop is a 35mm camera that embodies simplicity. It is equipped with a cocking lever, flash and shutter release, eliminating any complications for beginners or those looking for ultimate simplicity.
Depending on the stocks produced at the time, its rarity can vary, and collectors strive to collect the eight color variants available. The fixed-focus Hexanon 36mm f/4 lens is surprisingly good for a camera in this class, although it has its limitations in terms of fixed shutter speed and aperture range (between f/4 and f/11).
Technical characteristics:
-
Lens: The Konica Pop is equipped with a Hexanon 36mm f/4 fixed focus lens. This lens offers surprisingly good performance for a camera in this range.
-
Shutter Speed: The shutter speed is fixed, which means the camera is limited in bright situations. ISO 100 films are recommended, and it is advisable to use the flash when the red light is on for best results.
-
Aperture: The aperture is adjusted by a small cell and offers apertures between f/4 and f/11.
-
Color Varieties: The Konica Pop is available in eight color variants, each with its own level of rarity. According to McKeown's Camera Buying Guide from the 90s, the order of rarity would be: Black, Red, Silver, Blue, Yellow, Green, Pink, and Khaki.
Conclusion:
The Konica Pop is a simple, colorful, easy-to-use camera that embodies the simplicity of analog photography. Its bold design and bright colors make it a collector's item prized by many enthusiasts. Although it has limitations in terms of shutter speed and aperture, it can produce surprising results when you choose the right film and use the flash accordingly.
This 80s point and shoot is a fun reminder of when photography was simple and fun.

Why do analog photography in 2024 ?
That's true... Why do you want to do film in 2024 in the digital age?
Film offers a unique and timeless aesthetic that digital cannot reproduce. The grains of the film, the colors and the contrasts create a depth and texture particular to film photos.
Film photography allows you to physically hold your photos and negatives, providing a more tactile and memorable experience. Each photo becomes a unique object that you can keep and cherish.
Shooting on film encourages you to think and plan each shot carefully. This develops your photography skills and teaches you to be more attentive to details.
Using a film camera connects you to a long tradition of photography. You're using technology that has captured historic moments and been practiced by generations of photographers before you.
With film, you focus on the present moment without being distracted by the screen and digital settings. This allows you to better appreciate and capture the essence of each moment.
