Konica AF3

The Konica AF3 was the evolution of the earlier C35AF.  It features a fixed 35mm f/2.8 Hexanon lens and makes use of an active autofocus system (as opposed to the passive system used in the aforementioned C35AF).  The camera bears some similarities as well to the Konica Pop.  This camera is definitely a daylight camera, given that the ISO range tops out at 400 and that the slowest shutter speed is only 1/60th.

Interestingly enough, the camera does not have a built-in motor for film advance.  This slowed the camera down, in terms of function, but it also renders the camera a bit quieter.  The feature, or lack thereof, has also helped the camera hold up better over the years since, its 1984 introduction.  It makes a solid budget alternative to the much pricier Konica Hexar.
