This is a KONICA C35 purchased in 1977, Showa 52. I believe it was the world's first camera with an autofocus function. Say goodbye to blurry photos! "Just-in-focus Konica!" It was a hot topic thanks to Jun Inoue's commercial. It's an epoch-making camera. I'm selling it to clear out my belongings.
I've checked the overall operation with batteries inserted, but the ASA sensitivity ring is stiff and doesn't move. The rangefinder moves depending on the subject, so I think the autofocus is working. I've also confirmed the flash fires. The exterior is clean, but the viewfinder is a bit cloudy due to aging. I haven't been able to confirm the shooting condition with film, so I'm listing it as a junk item. Please be aware of this. The lens is a HEXANON 58mm F2.8 lens. I wonder what kind of soft images it will produce when film is loaded.
Comes with a case and instruction manual.
Other features: Junk, operation confirmed.
