Konica pop blue 35mm film camera
History and Presentation of the Device:
The Konica Pop is a simple, unassuming plastic compact camera that has managed to stand out thanks to its bold design and bright colours. It was launched in 1982 by Konica in eight different colour variations, 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 features a single lever cocking, flash and shutter release, eliminating any complications for beginners or those seeking the ultimate in simplicity.
Depending on the stocks produced at the time, its rarity can vary, and collectors strive to collect all eight available color variants. 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.

Color Varieties: The Konica Pop is available in eight color variations, each with its own level of rarity. According to McKeown's Camera Buying Guide from the 1990s, the order of rarity would be: Black, Red, Silver, Blue, Yellow, Green, Pink, and Khaki.

The Konica Pop is a simple, colorful, and easy-to-use camera that embodies the simplicity of analog photography.
