The
Konica Pop EF 80
is a very basic compact camera. I
got it for next to nothing in a thrift shop, so I tested it
nevertheless. There is very little information about this camera. It was launched in 1996. There is a later
model, end of the 1990s, with simlar features, the EF 88. The main features of the camera are:
34mm F4.3 focus-free lens, min. focus 1.3m Camera flash indication in the viewerfinder window Shutter speed: single, 1/125 Size 125x70x47, Weight 205 gr. batteries included Limited DX code for ISO 100 - 400 (only 2 contacts), auto wind, AE, flash auto.
Front closed.
Back
view. Camera flash ready lamp and flash use, lights, when flash will be necessary. Viewer. Film type window.
Seen
from above. Just a shutter button and an indicator for film wind.
Seen from below. Battery compartment (takes 2 AA batteries). Rewind, a mecanical film counter. No tripod socket.
Camera
open.
Coming later: Film compartment open.
This
camera is incredibly basic. You slide it open and push the shutter,
that's all. There are no features. All is automatic. The camera has a
fixed focus lens. No slow shutter speeds for night photos. No automatic
spooling to the first photo and no automatic re-spooling, but auto wind
between the photos. Point and shoot as
basic
as possible.
