Konica Big Mini BM-201 – 35mm Point & Shoot – Sharp Lens – Compact

Description

Konica Big Mini BM-201 35mm point-and-shoot camera in fair condition. Released in 1990, this sleek, minimalist compact became a cult favourite for its sharp Konica 35mm f/3.5 lens, clean design, and reliable autoexposure. Ideal for street, travel, and everyday photography, it features a built-in flash, exposure compensation, and a macro mode for close-ups.

The BM-201 is known for its soap-bar styling, pocketable size, and crisp rendering — often compared to premium compacts like the Minolta TC-1, but at a fraction of the price. A true sleeper classic from Konica’s golden era.
