Gambar-gambar ini menunjukkan prototipe rangefinder digital full frame keluaran Konost bersensor Full Frame dilengkapi dengan M mount milik Leica, jendela bidik optik dengan-garis bingkai elektronik ditampilkan dan pengintai fokus dengan kontrol dasar: aperture, shutter speed, focus dan ISO.
Saat ini Konost sedang mencari peluang pendanaan atau investor. Dengan sensor FF 20,0 megapiksel 35mm kamera Konost disebutkan akan mampu memberikan kualitas gambar setara dengan kamera modern.
Hanya ada beberapa kamera rangefinder digital di pasar saat ini yang didominasi oleh kamera Leica. Kamera Konost ini unik karena tidak menggunakan cermin berputar dan prisma dalam mekanisme rangefinder, tetapi ia menggunakan sensor gambar dan algoritma pengolahan gambar sekunder untuk menampilkan garis pengintai di jendela bidik. Hal ini memungkinkan kamera untuk menjadi serba digital, mengurangi biaya produksi dan tidak memerlukan pemeliharaan yang tinggi atau re-kalibrasi yang biasanya harus dilakukan pada kamera rangefinder.
Kamera ini tampil minimalis dengan hanya menyediakan 4 setting dasar yang dibutuhkan sebuah kamera yaitu aperture, shutter speed, focus dan ISO.

Press Relase Konost
Konost means simple and pure. No, it’s not a real word, we made it up.
We are a young start-up of engineers and designers passionate about photography. Our goal is to design and build compact, mirrorless cameras which are simple, pure, and hold true to the core and fundamental of photography — capturing light.
The Konost FF is our 35mm Full-Frame True Digital Rangefinder camera still under development. It has an optical viewfinder with electronically displayed framelines and a rangefinder focusing patch. There are only four fundamental controls: aperture, shutter speed, focus, and ISO — a simple and minimalistic camera stripped of any unnecessary features. The Konost FF takes M-Mount rangefinder coupled lenses with other lens compatibility to come.
We are also working on a Konost AP and a Konost Junior, fundamentally similar cameras to the Konost FF with differences in sensor size and build material.
Our Konost 35mm Full-Frame prototype was recently completed with ongoing sensor tuning and testing. It will be available for interested parties as a development kit since we believe the future of digital photography means bringing large sensors into compact cameras and affordable to everyday consumers. Yes, you will not need those big, heavy SLRs anymore.
Many parts of our website are still under construction, we thank you for your patience. Feel free to contact us for any questions, suggestions, or just to say hello!
