So I was given these three cameras and I don't know anything about them. I'm doing my research online but I just wondered of anyone here has any experience with them. They are legit old school, 35mm, film cameras. Any info would be great! Thanks!

    The Konica FS-1 appears to legitimately hold the claim to being the first 35mm/135-format SLR with a built-in motor drive. Prior to that, motor drives (and "winders") were all external and additional, both in size and in expense. It has internal metering and LED metering readout (instead of needle metering).

    The FC-1 appears to be similar, but without the motor drive.

    The TC-X appears to have been the last SLR camera Konica sold before the company was sold to Minolta. The TC-X also appears to be the simplest of the three bodies mentioned.
