Konishiroku Koni Omega Rapid
The Koni Omega Rapid is a medium format rangefinder camera produced by Konishiroku, shooting 6x7 frames on 120 roll film. It was aimed at press and wedding photographers who needed quick handling in a larger negative format.
Sales data for the Koni Omega Rapid is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from June 2024 fetched £60, which sets the only recent reference point for what one of these bodies sells for at saleroom level. Because that figure reflects wholesale auction pricing rather than dealer retail, condition-clean examples with working interchangeable backs and lenses typically command more from specialist sellers today, but a defensible market value cannot be drawn from a single data point.
