Konica FT-1
The Konica FT-1 was the last SLR to be built both under the Konica name and by Konica themselves. The FT-1 was introduced in 1983 as an improvement on the earlier FS-1. The changes included a different meter type (using silicon photodiode cells instead of the previously used gallium arsenide cells), improved quality of electronics, and a faster winder speed. It was available with black or silver top of the housing and built until 1987. Various controls were moved around on the camera, including the ISO film speed setting, the on/off switch, and the self-timer. Newly  added controls are the exposure compensation knob and a switch to toggle between continuous (up to 2 frames per second) and single shot exposures. There are some noteworthy features like a film advance indicator, self-timer LED, accessory terminal (use only for dedicated Konica accessories), and an aperture LED finder display. The range of shutterspeeds starts at 1/1000 s and ends at 2s. As in the Konica F, the first Single-lens reflex camera by Konica in 1960, the FT-1 has a vertical metal focal plane shutter, even if it does not reach 1/2000 s, the shortest speed of the  F. The FT-1 uses as the FS-1 the Autoload-System for loading the film into the camera. Lenses are fixed with the Konica AR-mount. Konica offered Hexanon-lenses with focus from 15 mm up to 400 mm. There was no low-cost or consumer line: All Konica lenses have good quality and got a good reputation: this includes the mechanics and less variation between samples. This model was commonly paired with a Konica 50mm Hexanon AR F1.8 lens and a Sunpak autozoom 333D thyristor flash. Accessories. The Konica flash X-24 with a guide number of 24 was known  by the predecessor FS-1. It offers preselection of the apertures 5.6 and 11 and shutterspeed 1/100s. A handle-mounted system electronic strobe with a guide number of 36 (metric) / 120 (feet) at ISO 100/21° (X-36 Auto) was also offered. The preselectable apertures are identical with the X-24. Konica Radio Controller Set: This accessory came with an receiver and remote that can be distanced away from the receiver up to away. The receiver is attached by the tripod socket.
