Konica C35 AF
The Konica C35 AF, nicknamed "Jasupin", marked a historic turning point in the photography industry when it was launched in November 1977, being the world's first 35mm compact camera equipped with autofocus. Using the "Visitronic" AF system developed by Honeywell, this model featured a passive focusing system, an alternative to the active approach employed by other brands like Canon at that time.
🎞️ Technical Characteristics:
- Film type: 35mm, ideal for detailed, high-quality photography.
- Focusing system: Honeywell Visitronic autofocus, first of its kind, uses a passive mechanism for increased precision.
- Flash: Built-in, making it easier to take photos in low light conditions.
- Ergonomics: Compact and handy design, perfect for daily use and easy to transport.
The C35 AF was so well received that it led to the production of the C35 AF2 in 1980, with minor cosmetic changes, and inspired technological advances in autofocus cameras around the world. Having sold one million copies, the Konica C35 AF remains an important milestone in the history of photography, testifying to Konica's innovation and lasting impact in the field.

Why do analog photography in 2024 ?
That's true... Why do you want to do film in 2024 in the digital age?
Film offers a unique and timeless aesthetic that digital cannot reproduce. The grains of the film, the colors and the contrasts create a depth and texture particular to film photos.
Film photography allows you to physically hold your photos and negatives, providing a more tactile and memorable experience. Each photo becomes a unique object that you can keep and cherish.
Shooting on film encourages you to think and plan each shot carefully. This develops your photography skills and teaches you to be more attentive to details.
Using a film camera connects you to a long tradition of photography. You're using technology that has captured historic moments and been practiced by generations of photographers before you.
With film, you focus on the present moment without being distracted by the screen and digital settings. This allows you to better appreciate and capture the essence of each moment.
