The Konica C35 V (1971) is a simplified variant in the C35 compact family, carrying a fixed Hexanon 38mm f/2.8 lens in a compact zone-focus body. The C35 platform had debuted in 1968 as one of the smallest 35mm cameras of its era, and Konica produced a range of variants targeting different price points and feature sets throughout the early 1970s. The C35 V represents the lower end of the family - a no-frills viewfinder camera intended for budget-conscious buyers who still wanted Konica's optical quality.

Before you buy used
- **Lens condition**: The Hexanon 38/2.8 is the primary value here. Inspect for fungus, haze, and coating marks. The front element is exposed and vulnerable to cleaning scratches from prior owners.
- **Meter**: Check battery compatibility and confirm the meter needle responds. CdS cells from this era can be sluggish in cold.
- **Shutter**: Listen at all speeds; slow speeds are most prone to sticking in leaf shutters of this age.
- **Zone focus ring**: Confirm it moves freely across its range and that distance markings are legible.
- **Light seals**: Assume they need replacement on any example over twenty years old.
- Price is very low; the C35 family is not scarce but collector interest concentrates on the original C35 and Flashmatic.
