    Description

    Offered is a truly rare early Konica 35mm film SLR bundle.  This is a black FS body with a Hexanon 52mm f1.4 automatic diaphragm lens, plus a bonus Hexanon 50mm f2.0 auto diaphragm lens, and both original lens caps.  The FS body and both lenses were made in Japan in 1962.
    In April 2021, the FS body and 52mm f1.4 lens were stripped down and rebuilt by Greg Weber, America's Konica expert:
    http://webercamera.com/slr.html  This was more than a basic CLA; the FS enjoyed a full and total rebuild, using parts donated by another FS body I had.
    Condition:  Excellent shutter with accurate and consistent speeds.  Both lenses are clear with smooth focus and snappy diaphragms.  Focus is also smooth.
    Have a look at the glossy black finish on the FS body:  No brassing, no dings, hardly any signs of use or wear.  Remarkable!
    This camera and lens outfit could be put into reliable service - but considering the museum-grade quality and the rarity, I think this beauty would be happier on display, with occasional exercise to keep the shutter accurate.
    If you'd like to see additional detail photos of the camera body or either lens, please contact me via eBay Messages.  The listing only supports 12 photos.
    Sold exactly as shown:  Camera body, two lenses, two original front caps, one rear cap, one 55mm haze filter (which will fit either lens).
