I have a later version FS-1 which appears to be in excellent shape. It takes 4 AA batteries, which is great, but I'm not used to all electric cameras. I read that the film winder/ threads itself when loading...yikes, ok. Do you know of a on-line manual? I'm just familiar with this site. http://www.buhla.de/Foto/Konica/eFS-1Haupt.html
Great pictures, too, Ian!!!

Ian, really like this one, nice 'scape for the layers of light:
The UC coating was supposed to rival Zeiss' T* coating, whether it does, is arguable. Konica
did spend some money on the UC stable of lenses. I like that this zoom has a pull-out hood,
very handy. Gonna pollute your thread with a few more film pix:
Memories 200 (rebadged Konica Centuria)
the cat pic is KG200 (very expired) of my dearly departed Maine Coon that died Nov 30. The
BW is AP 400 pushed to 800 using HC-110E, 10 mins, 20C
looking forward to your film pix! |

Nice film pics, thanks for sharing.
The only issue I have with this UC lens is the size and weight, it's just too wobbly mounted on the front of my NEX, I need to find a tripod ring for it. Other than that, I really like it, clearly in the upper strata of zoom lenses.

What is the difference between this and Konica 80-200/3.5? I have found both on eBay and that got me wondering, does anyone have any experience on that? |

Weight  3.5 EE is a giant lens

I thought the f/4 lens was already heavy, I gues the difference must be considerable |

The UC 4/80-200 is very big and heavy, bigger and heavier than the Mamiya 3.5/80-200, Vivitar Series 1 3.5/70-210 and just about any other big zoom I've owned apart from the real monster ones like a Tokina-made Hoya 75-260 and a 1960's Yashinon zoom I forget the exact stats of now.
I'm guessing the 3.5/80-200 is a real beast, Konica zooms are in general, pretty big and heavy, it's because the engineering is superb and they use a lot of glass elements. I have the UC 45-100 and that is a stunning lens, very heavy and large for it's range and has exceptionally nice engineering and build quality. I also have the 28-135 which has 19 elements and it's very heavy and large for what it is.
But the image quality of them is excellent, by far the best zooms I've ever owned, probably the only step up from these Konica zooms is to T* Vario-Sonnars or some of the more exotic Leica zooms.
