This particular camera belonged to the donor, and was a gift from her husband c. 1970. She loved the device as it was simple and used it for many years when travelling. In the 1990s, she bought a new camera with a zoom lens, and retired her Konica C35 EF. She now uses a digital camera (2012). Cet appareil photo appartenait à la donatrice et lui avait été offert par son mari vers 1970. Elle aimait cet appareil simple et l'a utilisé pendant de nombreuses années lors de ses voyages. Dans les années 1990, elle a acheté un nouvel appareil photo doté d'un zoom et a mis son Konica C35 EF au rancart. Elle utilise maintenant un appareil photo numérique (2012). - Function

The Konica C35 EF was the first 35mm compact camera with a built-in flash. The C in the name stands for “compact”, the 35 for 35mm film, and the EF for “electronic flash”. In 1968, Konishiroku released the Konica C35 which was the first in a series of four cameras (C35V, C35 Automatic, and Auto S3). The Konica C35 was the first of a number of compact cameras that swept the marketplace in the early 1970s. Its appeal to the general public was obvious from the start: it was compact, light and simple to use camera with an excellent lens that was distinctly wider than average for the time and took good photographs because it could be focused accurately. Le Konica C35 EF est le premier appareil photo compact 35 mm avec flash intégré. Le C du nom signifie "compact", le 35 pour film 35 mm et le EF pour "flash électronique". En 1968, Konishiroku a sorti le Konica C35, premier d'une série de quatre appareils (C35V, C35 Automatic et Auto S3). Le Konica C35 est le premier d'une série d'appareils photo compacts qui ont envahi le marché au début des années 1970. Son attrait pour le grand public était évident dès le départ : il s'agissait d'un appareil compact, léger et simple à utiliser, doté d'un excellent objectif, nettement plus large que la moyenne pour l'époque, qui permettait de prendre de bonnes photos grâce à une mise au point précise. - Area Notes
