Konica TC update

This is a quick update about the Konica TC film camera I mentioned in my last post.  It finally arrived in the mail today.  As I suspected, (see the previous post below) it is a manually operated "old school" film camera.
The lens is an 80mm - 200mm lens, and came with a UV filter attached.  Like many of my cameras this one was also purchased on Ebay.   The Seller I purchased this one from is an experienced Ebayer (over 8,230 transactions) and goes by the Ebay name of "Marknmandee".   Ideally, you always want to buy from experienced Sellers.   If you're looking for good used camera equipment be sure to check out their page.
The camera lens is an "after-market" lens made by Toyo Optics.  The camera is in better physical condition  than the Seller had indicated in the Ebay listing.  I can hardly wait to put a few rolls of film through it.

Ok, that's my quick update.  Thanks to those of you who've taken the time in the past to leave comments on my blog.  Previously anyone could leave comments.  However, we've made a slight change in the blog format.  You can still leave comments if you choose to, but you'll have to register with the blog to do so.  The reason for this is our attempt to discourage Spammers.  Thanks again for taking a look at our blog.  'til next time, happy shutter bugging.
