The unique film magazine employed on this camera has a light tight door which allows for mid-roll film change in daylight. The one piece cassette uses the same spool design as seen in the later Minolta 16 cassettes but should be classified as a different format as the later cassette will not fit the mechanism of the Konan. This design also establish the 10x14mm negative size.
Different colour finish have been reported.
