Description

The listing, cameras has ended.

The FS-1, introduced to the market in 1979, was a revolutionary novelty. As first 35mm SLR in the world it is equipped with a built-in motor drive for film transport. Today an ubiquitous feature, it was a sensation back in 1979.
----Konica FS-1. First produced in 1976. The manual focus Konica FS-1 offers TTL Manual and Shutter Priority AE metering, PC sync. and a shutter speed range of 2s-1/1000.

This camera also offers auto film advance at 1.5 frames per second. Uses Konica Bay II lenses. This is a good low priced starter camera or as a second camera.
Uses 4-AA batteries.
Battery (4-AA).

Konica FS1

Lens:

55 mm f/2 (interchangeable)

Exposure Control:
Maximum shutter speed: 1/1000th sec
Battery: four AA
Dimensions (inches, WxHxD):
Weight (without batteries):

The world's first 35mm SLR with a built-in autowinder (1980). It was very dependable and the remote shutter release was no longer the plunger type that mechanically depressed the shutter button. Now the camera could be tripped by using an electrical cable. This meant that the camera did not have to be opened up to attach the timing circuit.

Though the top shutter speed of this camera is only 1/1000th second the built in motor drive and the external connections make this camera a good choice for putting into a rocket. This camera was flown in the Talon and looked out the side of the rocket on descent of the parachute. It also flew in Eagle's Eye, a 4" diameter rocket, looking out the side of the rocket. However, the lens being exposed limited its career.

Do you have pictures of this camera (show it with your Listia name) other than stock photos? Preferably with the camera turned ON.

this is NOT a digital camera --so owners should realize that they need to buy film and have the film developed...it's also NOT a camera for "professional" type pictures.

The Konica was never designed to be used by pros, thus is not nearly as robust a camera as any of the Nikon F series cameras.

As you will notice after reading the website, that there have been some issues with the FS-1 electronic failure very common and with regular use of Tamron Adaptall-2 lenses could damage camera

The problem is, this camera is very prone to circuit board failure due to a rubber part that degrades with time and is very difficult to replace once time has rendered it useless. The problem was somewhat rectified in later serial number copies, but it still can happen.

Feedback speaks volumes, anyone can have a few bad communications or missteps but, please EVERYONE take a look at this persons feedback, not just the score but read some of them, or all of them, does not seem consistent or trustworthy to me. And I've posted numerous questions/statements above that were NEVER answered and "shut up plz" is not an answer to my questions. This site is actually a really easy concept, 1. List Items with actual pictures 2. describe item to the best of your ability 3. answer any questions people might have to the best of you ability, ex. looking up serial numbers, model numbers, item conditon, items included etc... 4. Maintain Communication 5. When auction ends follow through with auction and communication and mail out item 6. Leave Feedback This site is alot like Ebay but with more communication and credits instead of $ So, it really is easy, in your case just answer the questions. Like you have your camera there, post it's serial number and a good pic of it with your name on piece of paper. You know this is supposed to be a more friendly site with communication open, and it is hard enough to find "working" older film cameras, we have to ask questions to make sure they work etc.... This camera we aren't even sure you have. It's easy just answer the questions, any actual answer would be progress in this case. CHEERS.

Sep 8th, 2012 at 11:26:36 AM PDT by

toriswrrl27 has gone WAAAYYYY above and beyond explaining what's going wrong with this auction! This lister seems to think that everyone should just trust them, 'because'. Feed back does say alot. Using tracking numbers when mailing items to winners ALWAYS protects the lister! it's cheap and no one should mail ANYTHING of value without tracking! Also, if you use tracking, you will NEVER have a package refused due to not having enough postage on it! The number one thing I tell new Listians is READ the RULES!!! VERIFY!!! HOW IT WORKS!!! However, having said that, there is no rule that says people HAVE to be NICE! If descriptions were COMPLETE listers wouldn't have to answer so many questions. A sense of 'entitlement' seems to be pervasive among our younger generation. many seem to believe that they should get 'something' for 'nothing'. Just sayin...

Sep 8th, 2012 at 9:22:58 AM PDT by

i know i put up they wnt pic

Sep 8th, 2012 at 6:41:25 PM PDT by

Sounds like we are dealing with a child here people!!! I wouldn't bid on it, I'd flag this auction first if nobody is getting the right answers here!!!!

Sep 8th, 2012 at 1:20:06 PM PDT by

lol ok

Sep 8th, 2012 at 2:04:12 PM PDT by

Buyer beware and warning: all of this sellers feedback is negative. she never ships out any of her items. she is also very rude and disrespectful to people asking questions. do not trust this seller!!!! bid at your own risk!!!

Sep 8th, 2012 at 5:55:05 PM PDT by

do u have a life !!!!!!!!

Sep 8th, 2012 at 6:05:28 PM PDT by

Sweety, I'm reading all of this and it is very hurtful to you. I think these Listians have forgotten what is is to BE new. It is a little difficult to maneuver thru posting, keeping up with comments, and knowing how to send winner emails and complying with the 7 day delivery rule. I am so sorry people have been rude to you, repeatedly. Do yourself a favor and just block them, but I do recommend always being as polite as possible and I do agree "Shut Up" is a bit rude, but so are their comments. Please work on listing and SENDING your items because your feedback is hurting you badly.

So I am going to take a chance on you and bid, and I'm trusting you that you will send it. Sound like a plan? If you have questions of how to follow through, just ask me, we can get you on the right track!

Sep 8th, 2012 at 7:32:43 PM PDT by

thank you so much i will ask you if i mee help send anything out

Sep 8th, 2012 at 7:42:49 PM PDT by

Everyone here is talking about flagging this auction? Flag for what! Stop using up your valuable Listia Browsing time with all your comments! Just go find something else to bid on! Really! A note to ohmybobbert1, You're pretty new here, too. Welcome and good luck with all your auctions! However, you can't 'save' everyone on this site! No one can. That's why everyone needs to look at things like feedback, etc. Sometimes, negative or neutral feedback is given for nothing that the lister has to do with! If you REALLY want something on this site, you check feedback and still have questions, send a message to the lister AND the person who left the feedback, both privately. You may just get both sides of the story! To all of you who doubt the lister of this auction, I have just filed a support ticket questioning her age. Meli124, I'm sorry, but this needed to be done. If you are 'of age', just describe and post photos better on your next auction, and if you mail it, USE TRACKING!!! If you CAN'T mail it DON'T LIST IT!

thank you

Sep 10th, 2012 at 12:39:23 PM PDT by

Notice you kinda new. At the begin it is hard to stay up on comments and your auction. Just do your best, Answer question to the best knowledge. Be polite, and don't let other get you down. Try to do tracking on your auction so you have proof that you mailed the item. It does get easier. Hang in there Listia is alot of fun. If you have any question I will try to help.

Sep 9th, 2012 at 9:47:27 PM PDT by

thank you so much

Sep 10th, 2012 at 12:38:42 PM PDT by

Look, this girl is new, so everyone back off before i copy and paste the hate you put on her and send it to listia. now leave her alone

Sep 10th, 2012 at 6:00:51 AM PDT by

thank you so much

Sep 10th, 2012 at 12:37:56 PM PDT by

Also! the way this person speaks, the user sounds like s/he is very young, younger than 15 years old! i would not bid on this! there is a very high chance that this is a fake auction!!!

Sep 7th, 2012 at 5:15:08 AM PDT by

now u shout not have anything u say bez i put up they pic u guys want thz u

Sep 8th, 2012 at 11:27:46 AM PDT by

so you never send anything out , or wait you said it gets lost in the mail , hmmmm im 34 years old and never once i have had anything lost in the mail so i dont believe that for a second , now if you dont know how to mail things out you should ask someone , im not trying to be hard on you , but thats a pretty lame excuse and also if this is fake you wont get credits until they get the item , just a FYI , i know im a little harsh , but the truth of it all is 75% of auctions on here are scams 25% are real , so you kinda have to watch your own

Sep 10th, 2012 at 7:25:14 PM PDT by

ok She put up the pics that the mod asked for, she put up all the specs in the description, but yet people are continuously nagging her. We cannot take down auctions just because of a few bad feedback. Some people struggle sometimes when sending things out and I know it's not an excuse that seller still should have contacted them etc, etc, thing is it happened. This auction ends in 2 days I would like to not see it get flagged anymore as user has complied with what the mod asked, has showed pics with her username, has a description, there are no Listia rules being broken here.

Sep 11th, 2012 at 6:05:54 AM PDT by Camila

Good grief members ! here we go again accusing another member of making a "phony auction" !!!..... did anyone ask her "does the camera.... still work ?" !!!.... do you know what has happened to us ?..... digital cameras with automatic focus has.... caused us to lose the skills to operate a camera that has ( and requires ) that you need to set the cameras functions..... before you shoot a photo !!!..... if this camera has its original hexanon f/1.7 50mm lens..... it can produce very sharp images, especially if you use a fine-grained film !..... and her descriptions are quite complete in that it uses four "aa" batteries !..... those batteries actually operate its exposure system plus..... operates its built-in motor drive to transport film to the next frame to shoot the next photo !.... if you never shot using a hexanon lens..... you do not know how sharp that lens is !.... konica became konica/minolta and..... minolta is the only company that was..... permitted to use leica's lens formulae !..... cut this young member some slack and either "fan" her or allow her to auction without so much criticism.... if is does not get sent to a winner.... let the winner request a credit refund with listia staff.....

Sep 12th, 2012 at 5:56:41 AM PDT by

And !..... look at all her auctions "open" and "ended" !!..... all of them had..... "free shipping in our u s a !!!..... no ! i do not know her but..... no wonder she replied to comments of accusing her to be dishonest !..... that she replied with her anguish about negative remarks put against her !!!.... and she did not lie about the fs-1 being the first slr !.... she did not include that the konica fs-1..... "was the first slr with built-in motor drive" !!!.... i had a leicaflex.... it was leica's first slr !!!..... and unlike her konica fs-1..... that leicaflex still had a hand-crank to advance its film and it cost a lot more that the konica fs-1 !!!.... that konica fs-1 is a great camera for 35mm camera collectors !.... i had another camera with a hexanon lens.... that lens had leica thread mount and.... i actually used that lens on a leica focomat enlarger in my darkroom.... wow ! i had a 50mm enlarger lens with an f/1.7 aperture !..... it gave me "optimum sharpness" in my phot enlargements and.... did the same when mounted onto its japanese "honor" 35mm camera !!!..... at least this young member "did reply" to your accusations against her !!!....

Sep 12th, 2012 at 6:22:11 AM PDT by

Listia staff..... this auction actually has shown that.... your "moderators" certainly have their hands full with monitoring the auctions and comments made !..... thanking you all for your "unique" listia.com !....

I'm sorry but this is not the first 35mm slr camera in the world Cannon,nikon,Minolta,Ricoh and many more were making 35mm slr cameras back in the late 50s and the 1960s

Hello,

In order to have better results with your auction, please add more details regarding your item. Information such as make, model number, condition, any known issues and any other specific details particular to your item will go a long way in instilling confidence in potential bidders. This will also reduce the number of questions that your bidders will have to ask. For an even more productive auction experience (more bids, possibly higher credits received), we also recommend that you post a clear, close-up picture of your item with it powered on (showing current date clearly if it has that capability), as well as with it powered off. A picture of the back side too will help you, all with the same background. Also, it’s HIGHLY recommended that you write your Listia username on a piece of paper and have it next to your item when you take a picture of it. It adds bidder confidence that you in fact have this item in your possession.

While this isn't a requirement, this is requested so that sellers get higher bids from more bidders, and for the protection of our users who might be interested in bidding on your item. It'll also prevent your auction from getting flagged by users. We don't want your auction to get deleted for seeming like it's not real. Thanks for your cooperation and good luck with your auction!

do you have a real picture of the camera? can you post it u? this looki like a picture of a magazine ad. Also, is it in good condition? any problems with it? does shutter and film advance and on the lens aperature and focusing work? Is the Lens clean and clear of dust, debris, fungus etc.... THanks.

Sep 4th, 2012 at 2:12:50 AM PDT by

Also, is it manual, automatic or both, does it need batteries to work? also, you said it takes 4 AA batteries, correct?

Sep 4th, 2012 at 2:14:29 AM PDT by

yes

Sep 8th, 2012 at 6:25:02 PM PDT by

also, after reading your actual feedback, it seems well "flakey"...how do we know this is for real?

Sep 4th, 2012 at 2:16:44 AM PDT by
