# Range-Finding Cameras The Konost FF is a Full-Frame Digital Range-Finding Camera By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-02-27 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/konost-ff References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/konos-ff-digital-rangefinder-full-frame/36282/) & [konost](http://konost.com/) The Konost FF is an M-mount camera launched by American start-up Konost, which is positioning this [full frame digital camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-q3-43-camera) as a potential competitor the likes of [Leica](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-m-ev1). This camera will offer digital range-finding capabilities by virtue of a secondary image sensor rather than just a traditional rangefinder mechanism. The image produced is calibrated to the position of the lens before being electronically displayed as a rangefinder focus patch within the optical viewfinder itself. The camera will offer an [ISO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safet-range) range of 100 to 6,400 and will include a maximum shutter speed of 1/4,000 second and a 4-inch rear LCD monitor. The great thing about the Konost FF's innovative range-finding technology isn't merely the fact that it improves the quality of photographs taken, but it actually helps contribute towards reducing costs associated with manufacturing and maintenance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Digital Range-finding Cameras:** Opportunity to disrupt the camera market by offering innovative digital range-finding capabilities. - **Full-frame Cameras:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the full-frame camera segment with the Konost FF. - **Calibrated Imaging Technology:** A disruptive innovation opportunity to enhance image quality and reduce manufacturing costs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Camera Manufacturing:** Innovations in digital range-finding and full-frame cameras can revolutionize the camera manufacturing industry. - **Photography Equipment:** Opportunity to disrupt the photography equipment industry with the Konost FF's unique range-finding capabilities. - **Optics and Imaging Technology:** Innovation in calibrated imaging technology can drive disruption in the optics and imaging technology industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rangefinder-Free Premium Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-m-ev1.md) - [Lightweight Fixed-Lens Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gfx100rf-camera.md) - [Retro Full-Frame Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-fullframe-camera.md) - [High-End Full-Frame Camera Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-q3.md) - [Spec-Driven Film Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lomography-lomo-mca.md) - [Compact Full-Frame Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-q3-43.md) - [Revive Modern Film Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analogue-af1.md) - [Innovative AI-Autofocus Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canon-eos-r5-mark-ii.md) - [Retro Monochromatic Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m11-monochrom.md)
