My Konica I is pictured above. This camera is important as it marks one of the first attempts by Konica to enter the 35mm rangefinder camera market. The lens pulls out about an inch farther than pictured. Konica became one of the major players in the camera market during the last half of the Twentieth Century. This camera came out first in 1946. The next Konica I owned was a Mamiya-Sekor 1000 TTL 35mm SLR in 1968 or 1969. Konica is probably best known for their razor sharp Hexanon lenses.
Here is a pretty concise resource for early Konica 35's
