Konica SF
The Konica SF is a 4.5×6 SLR camera made as a prototype by Konishiroku in 1967. It has exchangeable film backs for 15 frames on 120 or 30 frames on 220 film, a metal focal-plane shutter (1–1000, B), through-the-lens metering for shutter-priority automatic exposure. The design allowed for interchangeable lenses and finders; the camera has been photographed and exhibited with a pentaprism finder and an f/2.8 standard lens.
The Konica SF never went into full production.
