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 Honeywell's "Visitronic" AF system, this model featured a passive focusing system, an alternative to the active approach employed by other brands such as Canon at the time.
🎞️ Technical Characteristics:
- Film Type: 35mm, ideal for detailed, high-quality photography.

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. With one million units sold, the Konica C35 AF remains a milestone in the history of photography, a testament to Konica’s innovation and lasting impact on the field.
