Know what you know and think about what that means for a moment. And if this sounds familiar, there’s something you need to know about the T3: everything about this camera reflects a thoughtful redesign except for one major flaw - the battery compartment can only be removed from inside the camera. Meter problems (due to old batteries ) are a commmon problem in the T and T3 from what I understand, possibly more common in the T3 for some reason. No visible corrosion in the chamber but a new battery does nothing. I don’t know what changes were made in the T3n besides some internal electrical redesign. How can you not love a Hexanon prime? (Say… isn’t that the name of one of those transforming robots?)Īfter the T3 came the T3n, and like the T2 it’s not marked as such, you have to tell by the self-timer lever which is black instead of brushed steel, and the prism top which is flat instead of peaked. Throw in the hotshoe (lacking in the T and T2) and you have yourself a winner! No wonder they’re comparatively expensive, though still a bargain considering the amazing build quality and of course the legendary lenses. The shutter release also has a noticeably shorter stroke than on the T and is easier to press. The wind lever is redesigned to be more comfortable, the wind stroke itself is smoother and quieter, as are both the shutter release and the shutter itself.

The Konica Autoreflex T3 is as big, beautiful and solid as its impressive predecessors, the T and T2, but quieter and smoother.
