The Konica FP was a 35mm, mechanical SLR camera which was manufactured by Konica from 1963. The FP featured the bayonet type Konica mount and was equipped with a Hexanon 52mm f/1.4 standard lens, made of 7 elements arranged in 5 groups.
The FP was fitted with a Copal Square shutter with speeds from 1 to 1/1000th of a second plus B. Connections were provided for both electronic flash (X) and flash bulbs (M). Flash sync was at 1/125th of a second with electronic flash, and 1/30 or 1/60 with different types of flash bulbs.
The Konica FP had a slot in the shutter speed dial that served as a point for an accessory Konica Lightmeter or Lightmeter II to interconnect. The first meter was large and sat on top of the camera's pentaprism. It was held by a clip at the viewfinder eyepiece. The second meter operated similarly, but was considerably smaller and protruded a bit from the front of the camera, attached via a bracket that in turn clamped under the shutter speed dial. Both meters used a CdS type sensor and require a single 625 mercury battery (1.3V) for power to operate.
