Description from the seller

[ Good ] KONICA C35 Flashmatic
*The exposure meter is malfunctioning.

Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.

The Konica C35 Flashmatic is a compact 35mm rangefinder camera introduced in 1971 as a follow-up to the original C35. Equipped with a sharp Hexanon 38mm f/2.8 lens and fully automatic CdS meter-controlled exposure, it offers effortless shooting — just focus and press the shutter. The "Flashmatic" system automatically adjusts the aperture when a compatible flash unit is mounted, providing balanced flash exposure. Known outside Japan as the "C35 Automatic."

The light meter is malfunctioning, but all other functions work perfectly, and it is in excellent cosmetic condition. There are signs of battery leakage in the battery compartment. Light seals have been replaced.

*The package includes only the items listed. Items not listed, such as lens caps, are not included.

Condition: USED — Good
Pre-owned with distinct signs of use.
