A Black Konica C35 to go along with my Silver one arrived today. Also arriving was a Auto-Up CA attachment. They all look so nice together, I thought that I would share.

I don't have original C35 (though have C35 EF3 which has different body) and from pics silver camera looks more appealing. Probably because it lets read profile of lens barrel and advance lever.
I don't deny black bodied one, maybe it just asks to be captured diferent - maybe on white background? I have black bodied Yashica Electro and appreciate that look.
Apart from presentation, it's cool b-day event. Have fun and post pics, little Hexanons are worth using them.

I presently have an original C35 but the shutter blades decided to stick together even though it would wind and the shutter would click. I played with it for a while then decided to do something I haven't done before. After swabbing the blades with a Q-Tip and lighter fluid, taking a double pointed toothpick, I opened the back and attempted to help the shutter blades separate from each other when I clicked the shutter. After taking 4-5 attmpts, the blades started to move, and with a little more help actually opened and closed. After around 15-20 winds and clicks, it appeared that the blades were working as they should.
I decided to take it to Russia with me for some RF shots and in St. Petersburg it started acting up around frame 20 or thereabouts, which I found out about only after the roll was developed. One side of the frame was blurred as though the shutter was dragging a bit similar to one curtain on a slr dragging a bit. Opened the back up again and fired it off around 10-15 times while holding up to the light and muted light, and everything looked OK. Shot off a few shots with fresh film and they came out just great. I've been shooting a C35 since 1970 when I bought my wife one while living in Sasebo, Japan - I like them and they do take great pictures.
