I haven’t had the greatest of luck with Konica Big Mini cameras. Most recently this cameras predecessor the Konica A4<\/a> let me down. Not easily deterred I loaded this Big Mini with the worst film I had, a roll of expired Konica VX400 a film that does not age well. And this is aged, at least if the camera didn’t function I wouldn’t be out a nice roll of Portra or similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The camera worked well and the film was as expected, bad. The Big Mini is truly a point and shoot with little user control but when that is what you want it delivers through its sharp 4 element lens (5 if you count the built in skylight filter which you should not). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing about one camera the Konica Big Mini can hold its shutter open for up to 7.5 seconds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
