Konica's early AE SLR — the Autoreflex T, shutter-priority auto, AR mount, mechanical shutter, 1968.

The Konica Autoreflex T is a 35mm film SLR made by Konica and introduced in 1968 within the Autoreflex line of AR-mount bodies. It was one of the earlier cameras to offer shutter-priority automatic exposure through the lens, and it sold in the United States under the Autoreflex name while carrying the Konica badge in most markets. It sits as a mid-range enthusiast body of its era.

As a single-lens reflex, it exposes standard 35mm film and takes Konica AR bayonet lenses. It uses a metal-bladed focal-plane shutter with a top speed of 1/1000 second plus a Bulb setting, and offers through-the-lens centre-weighted CdS metering. Exposure runs in shutter-priority automatic mode, where the photographer picks a shutter speed and the body selects the aperture, with a manual override also available. The shutter is mechanically timed, so the body fires without a battery; the battery powers only the light meter and its readout in the finder.

The Autoreflex T suits users who want early automatic exposure with a heavy, well-built metal body and reliable manual control when needed. It handles as a substantial camera by modern standards, and the shutter-priority system is straightforward for street and travel work. Its main limits are the weight and the ageing meter electronics, but the mechanical shutter keeps it usable regardless of meter state.

On the used market, check the foam light seals and mirror-damper foam, which commonly perish on cameras of this age and need replacing. Fire the shutter across all speeds and watch for capping or sticky slow speeds, confirm film advance and rewind feel smooth, and test the meter. The meter was designed around 1.35V mercury cells (PX625/625 type), so readings can drift on modern 1.5V replacements; a mechanically timed shutter means the camera still shoots with a dead battery. Inspect the prism and focusing screen for foam haze or desilvering.
