Hello,
Went to my local camera supplier today (believe it or not, an antique store) and found an interesting camera setup. Anyway, here is what was included:

1. Konica Autoreflex T3N body (chrome)- This is supposedly the best large-bodied Konica SLR ever. There is a ding on the top plate over the prism, but the body is otherwise in very good condition. I don't know if the meter operates, but everything else appeared to be doing what is was supposed to. All shutter speeds good, aperture mechanism working, advance functioning, etc.

2. Konica Hexanon AR 50mm f1.7 lens- nearly perfect, beautiful glass, aperture working, smooth focus.

3. Konica Hexanon 135mm f3.2 lens- also nearly perfect, beautiful glass, aperture working, smooth focus, etc. With case.

4. Small Vivitar flash, a few filters, etc.

Everything comes in a big ugly case.

Anyway, it was $45. I've been kicking around trying the camera out (I didn't buy the outfit, strong will power I guess). If the meter and everything works, I'll buy it and try it out. However, if anyone has been REALLY REALLY trying to hunt one of these down for a decent price, and doesn't mind a non-working meter, let me know. Just thought I'd mention this in case somebody has been spending alot of time hunting down the best Konica SLR.

Already owning 2 Konica's, an Autoreflex A and a FC-1, I can say the lenses are great.  The 135mm f3.2 is the best of the 3 135mm's Konica made.  Focuses to 3 feet instead of 5 feet (f2.5) and 6 feet (f3.5).  Good solid cameras and sharp lenses.

Well, well, well. I got home from work yesterday and there was the Autoreflex T3N, from BurninFilm. Lovely surprise Cheesy  Very, very nice. It's in very good shape, I must say.
Didn't get much shooting done today... tomorrow!
