Chronology of cameras Konica 

Tranduction de Alphonse Khuu

The C35 Automatic is a small fully automatic rangefinder.
A coupled CDS cell is above the lens.
The viewfinder with collimated optical marks for parallax correction has, on its right, a scale showing the speed/aperture combos. In automatic mode, the shutter speed changes from 1/30 the 1/650 sec (from 8 EV to 17 EV for ASA 100) + B. There is a self-timer.

The rangefinder view is wide, which is a good surprise, considering the dimensions of the camera. It is tinged with yellow.

The lens is a KONICA HEXANON f2.8/38mm. This small optical lens gives superb shots.

In a word, it’s a very small and nice camera.

It cost at its outgoing, 135 USD (140 USD in black).
