When I first ventured into photography, I had no idea what a rangefinder was. Although I knew they were popular for their compact design, I hadn’t actually used one until I got my hands on two popular ones, and one of them being this Konica C35 Automatic. I must say, great things truly do come in small packages. This camera is incredibly portable, perfect for everyday carry, and the images it produces are fantastic!
The Konica C35 requires a battery to operate, and fortunately, it uses the easily available SR44. The exposure is fully automatic, and it even provides a warning when you need to use the flash—quite handy indeed. The rangefinder patch on my unit was clear, making focusing a breeze. Overall, using this little camera was an absolute joy. You can find more information about this camera here: Konica C35 - Camera-wiki.org - The free camera encyclopedia
The flash is quite straightforward to use. Just insert some AA batteries, and it’s ready to go. However, it lacks advanced features, so you’ll need to manually turn it off when not in use. Otherwise, it will fire regardless of whether you need it or not.
I put in a Kodak gold 200 and took it to the beach and to pick some apples.
