Konica T3
I am not sure what I am going to do with it but it works so I bought a roll of film. Yes they still sell film, I guess people use it. I found a group on Flickr who use this camera and others like it. I found the owners manual online which was useful because I couldn’t figure out where to put the memory card.
There is a problem with the light meter because it is designed to work with batteries that are no longer available but amazingly it isn’t too far off. Here is a site I found with some specifications for the Konica T3, it was my mothers and she took some great photos with it. The thing weighs a ton and she hated carrying it around. She gave it to me a couple of years ago, and said that some day I might want to try it. I never used a film SLR camera and so I have to try it.

I too have just tried out an old film camera that I bought cheaply from a second hand shot. I’ve just taken the film in to be developed & will find out on Monday whether it is any good.

I hope you Share. I have only taken two shots with mine, I need to get going.
LMAO…where does the memory card go. I would love to be around the first time you start shooting with it, just to see how many times you look at the back of it to check the picture.
We have a few in our group that still play around (and develop) film. I’ll stick to the digital.

Bob – it has some nifty lenses and I have never used a camera like it before. If any of the photos turn out I’ll publish them here . . once I figure out where the memory card goes.
