The Konica EYE is a camera series from the 1960s. These are cameras for the 35mm format. Images are captured in half-frame on the film.
The series includes three models. The three versions differ only minimally. In the second version, an accessory shoe, for example for a flash, and a CdS light meter were added. Additionally, the lens was changed from a Hexanon 30mm f/1.9 to a Hexanon 32mm f/1.8. The Konica EYE 3 also added a self-timer.
