Konica C35 (SN: 156273) + Hexanon 38mm f/2.8
A compact Japanese rangefinder with a sharp lens and automatic exposure.

The Konica C35 is a classic 35mm rangefinder camera introduced in the late 1960s. Small, lightweight, and easy to use, it quickly became a favorite among casual and street photographers. The camera features a fixed Hexanon 38mm f/2.8 lens, known for its excellent sharpness and contrast. Exposure is handled automatically via a CdS light meter, making it a true point-and-shoot rangefinder for film shooters.

Its quiet leaf shutter, bright viewfinder, and reliable electronics have made the C35 a cult favorite — often nicknamed "the poor man's Leica" due to its compact performance.
