I’m sorry

Because we can’t speak english

I am using DeepL translate, so it may be a strange sentence,

but I would like you to understand

Thank you!





Today we will show you the film chamber lid closure of KONICA’s lens shutter rangefinder camera released in 1961.


KONICA SⅡ (Reference product)


The film chamber lid opening is located on the left side of the camera when viewed from behind.




Push the lever at the bottom of this lid restrainer downward.



Doing so opens the film chamber lid. When closing, the opposite action locks the lid.




This time we introduced the film chamber lid opening and closing part of KONICA’s lens shutter rangefinder camera released in 1961.


This part is always used when changing the film.


This is a well-designed film chamber lid opener and closers also used in the film SLR cameras of this era!







Please look forward to my next entry, where I will continue to introduce various major parts of film cameras and my favorite aspects of their design!


Thank you for reading my column today.
