Konica POP, a simple camera!

This is a simple camera, more than simple because you can't change anything, it only has 1 shutterspeed and 3 ISO settings! Of course you can play with the ISO settings to have a bit of control over exposure as it doesn't do anything but change the aperture.

Being a Konica and Minolta collector i have a few of these in different colors, but i had never used one. Now i received one with a roll of film inside, only 5 exposures shot, so i decided to finish the roll!

Inside was a HEMA (dutch store) 400 film, which is actually a rebranded Fuji.

I wonder how some of these would look in black and white.

Thanks!

Yes, loading one with b/w film is already on the "to-do" list! Wink
