Konica C35 Automatic Rangefinder

Having fun digitally manipulating a shot of my Konica C35 Automatic.

Having fun digitally manipulating a shot of my Konica C35 Automatic.

I finally finished the roll of Kodak BW400CN black and white film that was loaded in my Konica C35 Automatic rangefinder camera for three years and got it developed. Unfortunately, practically every shot was out of focus for some reason. I'm guessing I now know why the camera was thrown in with a lens I bought from an online auction site. The camera takes batteries, but the battery door was also missing when I got it, so it only worked in a manual mode. Manual mode for this camera consisted of one f-stop - f/2.8, and one shutter speed - 1/30 sec. Some of the shots I took were way overexposed, but it was hard to judge for all shots. This was the only shot that was even worth showing. Camera: Konica C35 Automatic Lens: Hexanon 38mm f/2.8 Film: Kodak BW400CN 35mm black and white film Aperture: F/2.8 Shutter Speed: 1/30 sec.

The biggest house in my little town. Nobody has lived in it for forty years or so. This camera came as a freebie that was thrown in with a lens I purchased. It didn’t have the battery door anymore, so I substituted one from a Pentax K1000 and it seemed to work. Taken with my forty-sixth camera.
