The Konica C35 EFP (1979) is a programmed-AE compact camera built around the same basic chassis concept as the original Konica C35 (1968), but adding a built-in retractable electronic flash and a fully automatic programmed exposure system. The EFP designation stands for Electronic Flash Programmed. Unlike the original C35, which required a separate clip-on flash unit and offered a choice of exposure modes, the EFP is a point-and-shoot: the camera selects shutter speed and aperture automatically based on metered light, and the integrated flash fires automatically in low light conditions.

The original Konica C35 (1968) was one of the first 35mm compact cameras with a fast f/2.8 fixed lens in a pocketable body, and it established Konica's foothold in the consumer compact market. Through the 1970s the C35 line expanded with variants including the EF (early built-in flash version), the MF (autofocus), and the V (viewfinder improvements).
The EFP arrived in 1979 at the tail end of the C35's commercial life. By this point the compact market was moving rapidly toward autofocus (Konica's own C35 AF/MF had appeared), and the EFP's zone focus was already a step behind the leading edge. It was sold as a lower-cost, simpler alternative to the autofocus models - fully automatic but without the complexity and expense of active AF.
The C35 EFP is a usable, low-cost entry to the C35 lineage. For photographers who want a compact with a genuine Hexanon optic and do not need autofocus, it delivers predictable results with minimal input. The built-in flash removes the need to carry a separate accessory, making the EFP more practical as a true carry-everywhere camera than flash-less compacts.
It is not a premium compact in the way the Konica Hexar AF or even the C35 V are; the programmed-only exposure and zone focus limit creative control. But as an affordable snapshot camera with better-than-average glass, it competes well against contemporaries in the same price tier used today.
