Konica C35 Automatic
Konica C35 Automatic, it replaced the very successful C35 in 1971. The new feature was an improved flash operation, the camera switches from automatic to flash mode, when a flash light is mounted in the hot-shoe. Therefore it was named "flashmatic" instead of "automatic" in Japan.
Though the camera is in a very good shape, it has the same problem Matt Denton describes on his site: corroded black cable at the battery chamber. That cables are really of bad quality. I cleaned the contact and resoldered the cable; Matt replaced the complete cable, which is the better idea.
