Part of the MT (Multi) series of compact cameras from Konica, the MT-7 was the most basic model. Sharing the same basic body of the MT-9 and MT-11, it has only a fixed focus lens, with a fixed shutter speed. Available in black and red, it was very similar to so many other cheap Konicas from the 80s, such as the Pop, Tomato or EFP3, only featuring motorwind.
