Konica III intro

I was once able to check out a friend's Konica III and compare it to the Konica III-A I own and have used a little. The III-A adds a brightline finder and the lens opens to f/1.8, but I think the styling of the earlier version III appeals to me a bit more. In either case the 6-element Hexanon (right?) is just as sharp as you would hope.

 

The blurb defending this camera's non-interchangeable lens sounds a little defensive but the logic is quite reasonable. Even owners of Rolleiflexes at twice this price somehow survive with just their one normal lens.
