far into the roll the camera stopped advancing and shooting and refused to rewind.&nbsp; So it became necessary to open it up in my film changing bag and pull the film out and manually wind it back into the canister.&nbsp; The film itself is some seriously out of date Fuji 200.<\/p>\n<p>The Konica A4 came out in 1989 but was quickly replaced with the much better known and specified Konica Big Mini a year later.&nbsp; The A4&#8217;s position in camera history is therefore more that it was the progenitor of the <a href=\"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/?p=10342\">Big Mini<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The A4 does have a nice 35mm f3.5 lens which I think I will harvest for future experimentation.<\/p>\n<script type='text\/javascript'>jQuery(document).ready(function(){var viewer=OpenSeadragon({id:
