The film point and shoot cameras that have a wide-angle\u00a0of 28mm are a bit of an odd bunch and this one fits right in.\u00a0 This Konica\u00a0though is one of\u00a0 the best of them optically.\u00a0 It has very little vingetting unlike the Sigma 28 AF Zoom\u00a0<\/a>and much less distortion than others like the Fuji DL super Mini <\/a>or the Konica\u00a0Lexio 70<\/a>.\u00a0 The only other film point and shoot that seems to be as good is the Canon Z90W<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The zoom function operates in an interesting way with a single button.\u00a0 The way it works is that it starts at 28mm and zooms in to 56mm and then starts back down towards 28mm so don’t go too far because it’s a long way back.<\/p>\n

There isn’t much info available online about this camera likely because of its rarity\u00a0but it appears to have a lens formed through 8 elements in 7 groups with apertures of 3.5 – 6.6\u00a0.\u00a0 It’s also large and heavy which limits my desire to pack it around.\u00a0 The Fuji Cardia is much easier to pack and the Canon Z90W\u00a0is more versatile while also being smaller.\u00a0\u00a0 Sorry Konica\u00a0Zup28W your good but not good enough.<\/p>\n
