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:

• Objective : The Konica Pop is equipped with a fixed focus Hexanon 36mm f/4 lens. This lens offers surprisingly good performance for a camera in this range.
