PERSONAL NOTES

I kind of like the Konica C35, it's easy to use, it's compact and light, I had a lot of fun with this camera.

The exposition is limited, automatic only, but it's compact and looks old, because it is. Sometimes this is something you want, especially when making street photography of strangers.

The finder is not as bright and precise as a Leica, but it's better than many other rangefinders from the same era.


CONCLUSION

If you are looking for a small and light rangefinder that looks nice, the Konica C35 answers to that need for cheap !

The silver version is cheaper than the black. You might also want to look at the Minolta Hi-Matic F.
