Konica AiBORG
AiBORG, lens cover open by Skagman |
The Konica AiBORG super zoom 35-105 is a very distinctive, if not downright eccentric, 35mm viewfinder camera, made in Japan by Konica. The heavy body is black plastic, with rubberised grips on the ends, and a subtle glitter effect on the front panels. An LCD panel on the top shows the camera settings, and a further small LCD display in the back shows the date settings. The AiBORG has a 3x zoom lens - with a hinged transparent plastic cover, motor drive and built-in flash. There is no facility for external flash.
The back features a large zoom switch and small coloured button controls for flash and date setting, and several labelled in an inscrutable non-standard manner. The viewfinder eyepiece has a rotary dioptric adjuster carefully placed to be on the cheekbone when in use, leaving little room for a finger to adjust it.
