Konicas? We talking Konicas? Sweeeet. I love them. I have a C35 that has been CLA'ed by Konica Man: Greg Weber I have a T3 CLA'ed by Greg Weber These will last another 30 years The 21mm, 85mm are awesome lenses. The 40mm is a sleeper. I love that thing! My favorite camera to carry around is my silent black Konica Hexar AF. Little know fact: Every Konica has a single "notch", just like the double V in Hasselblads, inside the film chamber so you can see a notch on the negative. I know which body shot what with those notches. Even the lowly C35AF has a notch. They are all in different places too. Open the back, take a look, you'll see it.
