Description
Konica Dynamite is a distinctive 35mm film camera released in 1992 as a special edition connected to the Danish national football team during the European Championship in Sweden. Its bold red body earned it the nickname inspired by the team’s famous moniker, Danish Dynamite, turning this camera into a small piece of sports and design history. This example is in good working condition, with minor cosmetic signs of use and includes its original protective case.
The camera features a fixed Konica 35mm f4 lens made in Japan, designed for simple and reliable everyday shooting. With a fixed focus system covering distances from 1.5 meters to infinity, it removes the need for autofocus and settings, allowing you to shoot quickly and intuitively. A dedicated close range switch optimizes sharpness for subjects between 1.5 and 3.5 meters, while the sliding lens cover protects the optics when the camera is not in use.
Exposure is fully automatic, with a fixed shutter speed of 1/125 second and an aperture that adjusts according to lighting conditions and film sensitivity. The built in light meter supports ISO 100 to 400 films, making the Konica Dynamite well suited for classic color stocks like Kodak Gold or black and white films such as Ilford HP5. The integrated flash covers distances up to 3.5 meters and includes a correction button for closer subjects, helping avoid overexposed portraits.
Film transport is fully manual, reinforcing a hands on and engaging shooting experience. Advancing and rewinding the film is done by hand, giving you full awareness of every frame. Powered by a single AA battery that is easy to find, the Konica Dynamite is a fun, graphic, and character filled camera that combines simplicity, history, and unmistakable visual presence.
