Here's a Konica Auto-Reflex Revue. This is the desirable original model that does both 35mm full and half frame, with the ability to switch between formats mid-roll. The "Revue" name is just labelling for the German market. It's the same camera as the Auto-Reflex (USA) and Autorex (Japan).
The "good" parts:
• The camera body is clean
• Shutter works at all speeds, and sounds fine. I haven't had the timing tested, but it looks ok.
• Includes 52mm F1.8 lens in good shape, with the usual dust but clean. Original lens cap is included.
The bad parts:
• The film rewind crank is missing its fork (see pictures) – the bit that inserts into the film cassette. This means you can't rewind film while in the camera. You can pull out the film in a darkroom and rewind it, of course, but I wouldn't pretend that that's a convenient solution. If you can find a fork it should not be hard to repair, but I don't have the part and I have too many 35mm cameras, so I've decided to say goodbye to this one. (BTW: the forks from later Auto-Reflex models such as the T2 will NOT fit on this camera, unfortunately).
• The meter is not functional. This is pretty common on these cameras. This may be repairable, but I never bothered to open this one up to try.
I have no idea how to price this, so I'm going to ask $125 + shipping. If you think I'm way off, make an offer!
