Sold Konica C35 Rangefinder Camera. Exc

gone · Jun 17, 2022

These are getting quite hard to find in this condition. It will need light seals at some point, but everything is working as it should. Clean lens, the meter is working, film advance is smooth, good rangefinder patch, etc. One of the most attractive cameras you could buy, it's also the perfect size (small and light). The Hexanon lenses are amazing, easily as good as Leicas, but sharper. Sample photos are from the last C35 I owned, I would expect the same from this one. Comes w/ a fresh battery and what appears to be the original wrist strap.

US sale please. $70 plus $9.50 priority mail shipping.

Seems like all Hexanon lenses are excellent, GLWS.

So you haven't actually used this camera if the photos are from a different one?

Right Huss. I bought it as well as some other gear from a local who had been shooting it. Was going to keep it, but afterwards realized that wide angle lenses just don't work well for me. I've owned a half dozen of these cameras over the years, they all imaged the same. The lenses are superb, the cameras just wear out over time. Build quality is good, but they aren't going to last like a Leica.

If anything is amiss w/ this one I will always give a full return, but w/ the meter working fine and all other operations working as they should, looks like a good camera to me.

These are great travel cameras. Features include program AE operation and a very sharp lens.
I recently bought a pair of them; a C35 Automatic rangefinder and a C35V zone focus model.

I keep reading about the sharp and contrasty lens. I can't wait to get this camera!
