KONICA DISC CAMERAS

Konica made two (or four) disc cameras -- depending on how you look at it. Both of them -- I mean, all four -- were all top-notch. Introduced in 1983, they were only produced for a year, and were discontinued due to their high price and low sales. The motor drive and flash were powered by factory-installed, long-life, lithium batteries. The exposure was controlled by a CdS photo cell. They were sold with silver or gold bodies, and protective "clam-shell" design makes them look like no other Disc cameras.

• Disc 10

  High quality, four element, 12.5mm f2.8 fixed-focus lens. CdS controlled shutter speeds of 1/125 and 1/180 and aperture to f8. Built-in flash, protective cover, and motor drive.

• Disc 10 Memorose

  It's the same as the "plain" Disc 10, but marked "Memorose" on the front.

• Disc 15

  Advanced model with an autofocusing lens -- no kidding. It even can be set for close-focusing to one foot! Plus, it adds a self-timer, and a "foot" on the wrist strap allows it to stand up for "selfies". This may have been the most expensive Disc camera ever produced.

• Disc 15 Memorose

  It's the same as the "plain" Disc 15, but marked "Memorose" on the front.
