They mention the features this camera has lost from the fine-tuned advancements of the T3 but I find it surprisingly close in specs to the classic A-R T except that it’s smaller, lighter and has a hot shoe. Besides, I never use speeds less than 1/15 anyway, except for ‘B’, which this has. But the compactness, lightness, and feel of the TC may mean it ends up in your hands more frequently than its hefty kin, and since it uses the same lenses, well…. I’m not saying they’re wrong, mind you! The T3n is certainly the choice for the pro Konica user. I personally think that sells it a little short, this common opinion is from the Konica Faithful who hold the T3n as the gold standard and anything less is, well, less. I bought this to be what it’s largely recommended as - a second body companion to a ‘better’ Autoreflex (if not a starter SLR). The TC is just noticeably smaller than a K1000 and has a nice comfortable feel. This camera is smaller and lighter than its heavy-duty predecessors, aparrently in an effort to capitalize on the marketplace success of smaller contemporary SLRs such as the Olympus OM series and the Pentax ME. The Autoreflex TC is more frequently found with the excellent 6-element, 5-group 50mm f1.7 - its normal lens at the time - but happily accepts all the older Konica AR EE lenses, so there. In fact, mine has the famous 40mm f1.8 “Pancake” lens, renowned for its sharpness and compactness (it’s about the thickness of my thumb). Like its predecessors, it has full manual or EE auto exposure, though here the shutter speeds are limited to 1/8 and above. The Autoreflex TC is a plastic-bodied, scaled down version of the famous Autoreflex T series ( T, T2, T3, T3n).
