The Konica EE Matic doesn’t require a battery, that’s a good thing because I’m not sure it deserves one.\u00a0 I guess if your intention is to take pictures that have the look of having been taken with a cheap 1960’s rangefinder nothing beats a cheap 1960’s rangefinder.\u00a0 It has that in spades.\u00a0 If it’s a quality image your after then there are better options.\u00a0 The problem is the lens it has very bad coma distortion which results in the image being stretched the further it is from the center.\u00a0 This distortion could be reduced by stopping the lens down but as the camera\u00a0has completely automatic exposure that is not under your control.<\/p>\n

On the other hand it has a nice bright viewfinder that also indicates the shutter speed and it won’t release the shutter if there isn’t enough light for a proper exposure, like when you leave the lens cap on, it happens.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
