The vision for the Konost Camera came in May 2011 from a group of electrical engineering students at Cornell University. On their days off they enjoyed taking pictures with their modern day rangefinder cameras. They felt that the true experience of photography was not about the list of camera features, but the immersion of ones self in the act of the art. With this in mind the Konost FF camera was born.

Manual Rangefinder Focus, Manual Aperture, Manual Shutter Setting - That's it

Aside from a pinhole camera or something homemade, this camera's features are about as simple as they can get. The Konost Full Frame Digital Rangefinder camera sports nothing but the essentials.

"Using a manual rangefinder camera forces the user to take time to think and compose before taking a shot, instead of clicking away at a hundred different pictures and picking the right one on a computer" - Konost Team

Still in Development, Coming Early 2016

Unfortunately if this photography purists gem has already got you pulling out your wallet, you'll have to wait. It's still in development though the aim is for an early 2016 launch. Also there will be 3 standard models available varying by sensor size and a slightly different feature set.
