Strange looking filmcamera/camera. Fully in plastic. The right hand holds the camera with the grip beneath, and the left hand can makes pictures : orange button, or movies on 8mm cartridges, black button. No zoom.

Nice looking automatic camera from Konica. It's also named Konica Pop and exists in red plastic. The filmwinder is on the bottomplate and at the back there is an electronic date-system to print the date of the shooting on the negative.

Another variation of the Regula King Sporty BC. This model doesn't have the fake selenium-meter of his companion. The lens and shutter mechanism is identical, the plate around the lens is more squared and there is a weird yellow plastic emblem with a electronic lookalike (?) logo on it.

Experiments, experiments,...

N°304 : Minolta 7000 AF

I personally like more the square design of the 7000 AF, then he rounded ones from their followers in the analoge Dynax range. I like this camera a lot, and it's my favorite of the "chunky heavy" plastics of the late 80's.
