Konica TC-X, my first camera

This is my old friend Konica TC-X. :-)
It was my first camera, a gift from my parents in 1990.
Funny thing is, although taking it to many places,
I didn't know anything about f/stop, dof, exposure control, etc.
All I knew was to point, focus, and shoot...
As a cheap plastic-body SLR, priced half of the Nikon & Canon peers,
TC-X simply got overlooked by many people the day it came out, including myself.
Sitting on the shelf gathering dust was what it did, ever since I bought a p&s.
Only recently I came to realise it's still all functional
and adequate for my amateur persuit in photography.
So there you see, my old friend TC-X is back to work.
