Thanks for the video. I'm planning to buy a similar camera. The video was helpful, and the image quality is very good, actually. By the way, what scanner did you use to scan the films?
As a matter of history, I would expect the Konica to be the better made and more reliable camera. Apart from quality differences, the Konica bodies are plentiful and cheap. Finally, the Konica lenses are just top quality, which cannot always be said for Canon equivalents. They are also very cheap, because not that many people are looking for them. Konica never tried to compete at the top level with items like the Nikon F3 or Canon F1 bodies, but they were a very diverse competitor at the sophisticated consumer level, against the Canon A-series cameras, Pentax M-series, and NIkon FM/FE. It's just that they are so cheap in today's fairly uninformed market that no one gives them a second look.
My friend gave a autoreflex yesterday 📸 feels like a tank
I inherited an Autoreflex TC - haven't kept the body but I kept the lenses, a bunch of Hexanons including the 40 mm. 🙂
The 40mm is very nice adapted to mirrorless, even though it's not so much of a pancake lens anymore with the adapter 😂
Hehe, true! Have it adapted to a Fuji X-Pro 1 (earlier an X-E1), looks good! Need to start using it more.
Thanks for the upload, it was helpful!
It is extremely easy to recover the body of your aging Konica TC camera 📷.

I used the Epson V600 for scanning. The quality from the scanner is ok for internet use (the actual resolution of the files is around 3-4mp I think).
