I’m currently trying to sell my Konica camera and it makes me wonder, why don’t people like these? They are just as good as Canon, so why not? I personally loved it but fell on hard times.
Bought myself a Konica C35 V the other day from marketplace for $90 AUD. Haven’t used it yet as I’m waiting to change the light seals, but I’m wondering how many people have used it? I’ve heard lots of good things about the C35 line but haven’t heard really anything of the V version. Different to the rest it’s got some focusing rather than the rangefinder system on the others so I’m curious how I’d go hitting focus.
Thanks!
Pulled my old Konica FS-1 out after more than 10 years gathering dust, threw in some Fuji 400 and somehow the thing fired right back up.
I ran a test roll through it before an upcoming trip and of course a few shots had to be of the wrist. Really happy with how they came out, there’s something about the grain and slightly imperfect exposure of film that works so well with mechanical watches.
Shot on a Konica FS-1 with a Hexanon AR 52mm f/1.8 and Fujifilm 400.
Bought myself a Konica C35 V off marketplace today, very happy with it but looking inside I’ve noticed the foam has turned bad, I’d like to replace it, has anyone done this before if so where did you get your foam at and how did you do it?
