Konica's Autoreflex T3 — shutter-priority AE SLR, AR mount, mechanical shutter, 1973.

The Konica Autoreflex T3 is a 35mm film SLR made by Konica and launched in 1973, continuing the Autoreflex line of AR-mount cameras. It was a mid-range enthusiast body that developed the earlier T-series formula, adding refinements to the finder and controls. It was sold under the Autoreflex name in the United States.

It is a single-lens reflex using 35mm film and the Konica AR bayonet mount. The T3 uses a metal focal-plane shutter with a top speed of 1/1000 second plus Bulb, and through-the-lens centre-weighted CdS metering. Its automatic mode is shutter-priority, so the user selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture, with a manual mode available. The shutter is mechanically timed and fires without a battery; the cell only powers the meter and the finder display.

The T3 suits general, street, travel and portrait use, and appeals to those who want shutter-priority automation with a full manual fallback. It is a heavy, solid camera with a clear finder for its era. Strengths are build quality and the automatic mode; limits are the weight and dependence on ageing meter electronics for metered readings.

For used buyers, check foam light seals and the mirror-damper foam, which perish on cameras of this age. Test the shutter at all speeds for capping or slow-speed problems, confirm smooth advance and rewind, and check the meter. The meter was built around 1.35V mercury cells (PX625/625 type), so use adapted or recalculated exposure with modern 1.5V cells; the mechanical shutter still fires with a dead battery. Examine the prism and screen for foam haze or desilvering.
