1975 Rapid Omega 100
Founded in 1873, Konica is Japan's oldest camera manufacturer. The Rapid Omega 100 is a medium format rangefinder with a combined viewfinder and coupled rangefinder and automatic parallax compensation and takes 6x7 cm (2 1/4" × 2 3/4") negatives on 120 roll film (10 shots). This later model was made by Mamiya. Designed as a press camera because of it's rapid bolt action film advance, in the 1970s - 1980s this was a popular wedding photographers camera. The optics are super sharp with minimal distortion, rivalling the more expensive Hasselblads. Despite it's hefty weight, it's surprisingly well balanced and easy to hold steady with the attached hand grip.
