The Konica Z-Up 110 is a zoom autofocus compact introduced in 1992, equipped with a **Konica Hexanon 35-105mm zoom lens** (approximately f/4.5-7.8, multicoated). It sits at the top of Konica's Z-Up zoom-compact line by focal-length reach, above the Z-Up 90 (35-90mm) and Z-Up 70 (35-70mm) variants. The camera uses programmed autoexposure, active multi-zone autofocus, built-in zoom-following flash, and auto DX ISO reading. As with all Z-Up models, the body is polycarbonate, the design is consumer-market practical rather than premium, and the target user was the Japanese domestic point-and-shoot buyer who wanted telephoto reach without a large SLR kit.

Konica developed the Z-Up series in the early 1990s as its answer to the booming consumer zoom-compact segment. Rivals included the Fuji Cardia Zoom, Olympus AF-10 Super, and Canon Prima Super lines. The Z-Up naming convention reflected the zooming action; each model number approximated the maximum focal length. The Z-Up 110 was the long-reach option in the lineup, targeting buyers who wanted a 35-105mm equivalent - a step beyond the 3:2 zoom ratio of the Z-Up 90.
Konica's marketing positioned the Z-Up line on the Hexanon lens name, which carried genuine optical credibility from the company's rangefinder and compact-camera heritage, though the zoom lens design is necessarily a different proposition from the fixed-prime Hexanon lenses in the Big Mini or Hexar lines.
Production wound down in the late 1990s as Konica consolidated its product lines ahead of the Konica-Minolta merger. The Z-Up 110 was not reissued.
The Z-Up 110 occupies a pragmatic niche: a 35-105mm zoom range in a compact body, carrying the Hexanon lens name, available today at low used prices ($60-160). For film photographers who want telephoto reach without SLR bulk, and are not prioritizing maximum aperture, the Z-Up 110 is a functional option.
The realistic trade-off compared to premium compacts is significant: the slow zoom maximum aperture (approximately f/7.8 at 105mm) limits the camera to bright-light or flash shooting at the long end. The program-only exposure mode offers no creative manual control. The Z-Up 110 is best understood as a well-built consumer zoom compact with genuine Konica optics rather than as a premium-grade camera in the Big Mini or Hexar tradition.
At current used prices it competes in the same tier as other 1990s Japanese zoom compacts - useful, accessible, and without collector premium.
Lens fixed. Built-in zoom-following flash. No dedicated accessory system documented.
