This is my review of the cult classic point-and-shoot film camera, the Konica Hexar AF. For all its quirks, the Hexar has some serious features that put it above most of its ‘competition’. The 35mm f/2 lens is fast and sharp, the camera can take external flash (although no built in flash), it has silent mode that makes it as quiet as a fully mechanical camera, and it has a front filter thread and built in lens hood. The biggest weakness of this camera is the 1/250th top shutter speed, although there is a work-around. Enjoy my reasonably quick review (I could have done a deep dive).
Thanks to Philip of The Darkroom in San Clemente, California for loaning me the camera, as well as sending me film to shoot. I also tested their international shipping and turnaround develop, print and ship option. It took less than 2 weeks from Hong Kong to the USA, and then back to me in Canada. Check out their website for details of their international shipping.
