Konica AR-mount 35mm SLR from 1979 with spot metering and dual AE modes — one of the most metering-capable consumer SLRs of its era.

The Konica FC-1 (1987) is a semi-professional 35mm AF SLR from Konica's AR-mount system — an autofocus body for the Konica AR lens ecosystem. The FC-1 extended the established Konica AR manual-focus system into the AF era, providing AF capability while maintaining compatibility with the extensive existing AR lens library (with reduced functionality).

35mm AF SLR, Konica AR-mount, multi-point AF, multi-mode AE (P/A/S/M), built-in winder (1.5fps), TTL metering, top shutter speed 1/2000s.

The FC-1 is notable as Konica's AF entry — late compared to Canon and Minolta, and with a limited AF lens range. Existing Konica AR manual lenses function on the FC-1 but without AF. Konica AR AF lenses were produced in limited numbers. The Konica AR mount is not compatible with any current camera system. As a system, the FC-1 represents the final chapter of Konica's camera line before the Minolta merger.

Test AF with a Konica AR AF lens (if available) — AF lens availability is limited. Test all exposure modes with a manual AR lens in stopped-down mode. Check built-in winder advance. Inspect AR-mount coupling. Check light seals.
