Konica FP-1

-
The Konica FP-1 was a 35mm single lens reflex film camera produced by Konica between 1981 and 1983. An external motor, the Konica Auto Winder F, could be attached. The Konica FP-1 featured a programmed Automatic-Exposure (AK) and through-the-lens (TTL) metering system. Although the FP-1 was a compact reliable camera, it had only one problem as there was no possibility to change shutter speed or aperture for the user. Professional photography was not really possible that way, since the user could not influence the exposure or depth-of-field.

Specifications

The Konica FP-1 came with a Hexanon AR 50mm f/1.7, or a Hexanon 40mm f/1.8 standard lens. It had a bayonet-type Konica mount II. The aperture mechanism of the FP-1 was programmed fully automatic apertures with three stages of f/2.8, f/5.6, and f/11. The camera was equipped with a digital-controlled, vertically travel electronic metal focal plane shutter. The shutter speeds were available with a non stage progression from 1/30 sec. to 1/1000 sec. Shutter speeds: 1/30 ~ 1/1000 sec. Synchro: Hot shoe synchro socket, automatically set to. 1/100 sec. with exclusive Konica X-18, X-24, X-36 Automatic Electronic Flash. Manually set to 1/100th sec. with electronic flash other than X-18, X-24, X-36. The FP-1 had a digital-controlled electronic self-timer. The camera was powered by one 6V alkaline battery 4LR-44 or silver oxide battery 4SR-44. It could not be used without batteries. Dimensions and weight: 140 x 89 x 45 mm, 495g (w/o battery) body only.

New SoCal Urban Creek Green Sunfish

Thanks to a sweet tip from a fellow angler, I found a new urban creek to explore. It's actually more of a canal, but hold water year round and is absolutely loaded with chunky green sunfish, up to 12 inches. I lost track of how many scrappy greenies I landed in a short afternoon fishing session at this Inland Empire creek.  Since then, I've returned several times, always landing loads of these sunfish. I've also spotted a couple of turtles, many mosquito fish, and a couple small largemouth, along with the obligatory pile of litter and trash. Urban creek fishing at its finest hmm?

Spent a lot of time this last weekend at the beach, not only trying out my new M20 action camera,but also a couple of fishing products. One was the YOLO Fishing Bite Alarm, and the other a Yoshikawa 7ft collapsible pack rod. The bite alarm reminded me of the old carp bite alarms I used to use, but unfortunately it didn't work as well. The Yoshikawa rod is fantastic, definitely one I'll be using in the future! These are both courtesy of Gearbest, and you can find them here: Yoshikawa travel fishing rod:http://goo.gl/bNivhs Yolo Bite Alarm: http://goo.gl/oHLIm4 Other Gearbest fishing products:
