Konica Big Mini F--viewed from front, top, and back
Mini Camera, Big Success
Pretty, tiny, stylish, and capable. Konica Big Mini set an example for modern p&s.
Announced in 1997*, Konica Big Mini F was the update model of its senbai, the popular BM 301. Major upgrade includes a metal front and a new 35/2.8 lens.
When it comes to actual shooting, BMF is a good performer. The grip is good, and the viewfinder is bright & clear(if maybe a bit prone to flare). Same nice features as BM 301 including the useful +/- 1.5EV compensation, which gives it an edge over most others in the competition. Unfortunately, BMF also inherits the (questionable) no-lens-cap design. This virtually prevents me from carrying it in my pocket without case, as I often did with Yashica T5. Slight comfort is, I seem able to capture perticularly saturated blue sky with BMF in strong sunlight, which might've been partially due to the built-in skylight filter.
