The Konica IIA (1958) is a compact coupled-rangefinder camera in the Konica II family line, built around the fast **Konica Hexanon 45mm f/1.8** fixed lens. Where the larger Konica III/IIIA used a 48/2, the IIA is a more pocketable body with a faster lens. It uses a Seikosha leaf shutter synced at all speeds, making fill-flash practical in daylight. No built-in meter; all-mechanical operation. The IIA sits at the premium end of Konica's late-1950s RF lineup alongside the larger III-series.

The Konica IIA appeared alongside Konica's larger III-series rangefinders in the late 1950s. It updates the Konica II (which used a slower lens) by fitting the brighter Hexanon 45/1.8. Production was brief; by ~1960, the line was superseded as Konica shifted engineering resources toward the III-series refinements and eventual move to the SLR market. Exact production years and unit counts are not well-documented.
The IIA offers one of the faster fixed lenses of any Konica rangefinder - f/1.8 gives a full stop over the Konica III's 48/2 and two stops over many contemporary competitors. For collectors, it represents Konica's brief experiment with a compact, faster-lens RF before the III/IIIA dominated the lineup. In 2026 it is less sought-after than the IIIA but optically interesting, and used examples run lower.
