The MT series of compact cameras from Konica was introduced at Photokina 1986. MT was an abbreviation of multi, referring to the different models available in the series.[1]
The three cameras differ greatly in specification, but all have a fixed, moderate wide-angle lens, motorwind and pop-up flash with quick recharging.
