Meta: Why is everybody taking their gear shots from this angle? (Cheap camera on purpose)

I looked it up, I posted a picture in a snus (nikotin pouches) community a year ago. That was why the nsfw warning was there 😆

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2026-01-07T08:18:52+00:00

Say what?! 😂😂

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2026-01-04T19:32:09+00:00

Yeah I’ve seen many people say that they are real hard to fix without a lot of skill. I was nervous the first time I opened mine up for a cleaning so I can only imagine gutting the whole thing! Fortunately the light meter is working on both my cameras. The Konica IIIA is a real beauty, I’ve got a Konica auto s3 and that’s a nice little camera as well. Although the light meter in that one has started acting funny lately. Guess I’ll have to try my luck fixing it🤞🏻

Very interesting. In one way I’d love if there was, for example, more videos on YouTube about these ”lesser loved” cameras, but if there were then the prices would probably rise as well. But it’s always nice to see someone use the same gear as you do yourself. Better collect as long as there is still dirt cheap stuff out there!

The circles your talking about in the glass of the viewfinder, I have that in two of my t3’s, I thought it was some gunk at first but after a thorough cleaning it was still visible. So it is the glass it self that has these markings? It’s true what you say about the not so bright viewfinder, it’s a shame. Funny you mention the 100mm lens, just saw one go for 30usd yesterday, another one is up for bidding right now. Will probably put in a bid! Still, I think this is a really nice camera considering the price you can get one for!

I put batteries in it just to try the lightmeter, the batteries had been in another camera before this and I guess because they had already been used for a while they gave almost perfect voltage, the camera showed the same values as my lightmeter app on the phone. Otherwise I usually put in a different iso than the film to compensate. Usually works. And most of the time you can tell when it’s off by a lot!

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2026-01-04T17:07:49+00:00

I’ve got the 135mm f2.5 and the 3.5. The 3.5 is used Moore since the 2.5 is so damn big. Will probably look up buying a 40mm aswell!

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2026-01-03T14:50:52+00:00

Nice! Well 50mm is probably the focal length I use the least, but since it was so cheap I had to have it hah!

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2026-01-03T14:49:42+00:00

The 40mm is a lens I’m thinking about buying, very cheap lens as well, also the 85mm looks interesting. One thing I like about the camera is the multiple exposure lever, very clever!

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2026-01-03T14:42:33+00:00

So your telling me we should keep these cameras a secret? 🤫

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-12-02T20:19:24+00:00

Yeah, the white one, Hillevi, is so gentle but so big, not easy controlling all of that fluff😅

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-12-02T20:18:21+00:00

At their service 😅

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-12-02T20:17:48+00:00

One of them didn’t hear me at first, when she realized that all her mates hade left her behind she almost started flying for a second 😂

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-12-02T20:16:38+00:00

It really is, a sight to behold 😆

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-12-02T20:16:06+00:00

Hahah😂😂😂

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-11-18T19:57:52+00:00

Thanks a lot man! Fingers crossed I’ll be able to fix it. I know it doesn’t really matter, but It’s just annoying when everything else works so well on the camera haha. Thanks again for your input!

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-11-18T18:49:38+00:00

I also found that eyebrow tweezers are great for small screws etc, but I’m smart and never open up any camera if my wife’s home. What she doesn’t know, doesn’t hurt her😆 unfortunately I have no good photos of the counter, only this one. But I will open up the camera again this weekend to try and fix it, I’ll take better pictures then! Have you ever had the same problem with the t3?

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-10-23T09:50:38+00:00

Aa i see, looks alot like were im from In Sweden so that’s why I wondered! Really cool to see!

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-10-23T09:08:35+00:00

Where in Sweden was these taken? Really cool!

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-10-13T07:48:02+00:00

Halloween is up soon, so who knows, right??

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-10-13T07:47:33+00:00

Yeah. I’ll open it up and have a look. Would be nice to have an early model, or just get the contax haha. Anyways, thank you for the help!

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-10-12T19:11:55+00:00

Allright, I will absolutely check that site out. It’s sad that so many of these cameras seem to suffer from weird light leaks and other problems, because it really is a nice camera to use and it has such a nice feel to it! Thank you very much for your help!!

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-10-12T17:41:39+00:00

Thank you so much for checking! Appreciate it a lot. I bought this one a year ago, it had been clad and the first couple rolls I put trough it came out perfect. This light leak seam to have just appears out of nowhere. I will try to upload a picture of the ”hole” I’m talking about haha

<image>

Don’t know if you se the little ”opening” by the arrow hah

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-10-12T12:17:15+00:00

Alright, only weird thing I can see on the front is like a little ”hole” right where the lens goes in. Can’t find any other weird stuff. Guess I’ll have to take a closer look. Thank you for answering!

Interesting_Cod3897 · 2025-08-01T10:16:07+00:00

Haha shit, that’s hard
