■ Development background

SNS is now a part of life. As a result, more and more people are interested in photography. Mobile phone camera lenses are upgraded and the latest ones are released every year. On the contrary, single-lens reflex cameras that allow you to set lenses and settings to suit your taste are becoming more popular. However, in the last few years, there has been a trend to value not only the cutting edge but also the goodness of analog. This product is an instant camera that can print images on the spot. The SL42 is a hybrid camera that matches the characteristics of a single-lens reflex camera and an instant camera.

A piece of everyday life becomes a work

EF lens can be attached

The SL42 II is a passive (no electronic contacts) EF mount camera. As well as EF mount lenses, it is compatible with hundreds of vintage lenses (M42 mount, Nikon F, Contax / Yashica C / Y, etc.) by using an easily available adapter, so your vintage lens You can enjoy shooting with the lens attached. Since there are no electronic contacts, autofocus and electric aperture adjustment cannot be performed. We recommend that you use a lens that allows you to adjust the aperture on the lens side.

Adjustable shutter speed and aperture

The NONS SL42 MK2 has a variable shutter speed. A total of 10 shutter speeds can be set from this mode.

"1/250, 1/125, 1/60, 1/30, 1/15, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1 second, valve mode"

In addition, a guide display (light meter) that tells you the aperture value (F value) to obtain the proper exposure (brightness) is provided at the top of the main unit.
