I finally got a black one. :D

In order to offset what I paid for this black one, I just listed my C35 Flashmatic in the classifieds. but I'm almost hoping that nobody buys it, they are a little hard to find in the USA.
 
Just picked one of these up (black version) in a thrift store the other day! What are you using for a battery?

Nothing yet in the black one, it hasn't been shipped yet. but I've always had good results using zinc-air hearing aid batteries in the C35's.
 
I have a Black C35 AF, the model with the first passive AF system. I bought it in early '79, but never really used it much. Maybe I'll take it out for a spin.

You can get #675 Silver Oxides at all the good drug stores, and Radio Shack. I bought a twenty pack for half price during the holidays at Walgreens.

I'm disappointed that I had two C35s on Ebay, one working and the zone focusing C35 not working but with the body in excellent to mint minus condition but no bids. I like the C35s and have had one in my possession since the 70's while living in Japan. I relisted it and again no bids. Strange how these things work. The working standard C35 works just great, meter, self timer, hot shoe, etc. I had it with me in St. Petersburg a year ago and it came back with some great shots. I use the zinc 1.4v battery which works just fine.
 
I just got one for 6 bucks. Have yet to recieve it. My first rangefinder actually :)
I´ll report back when I have run the first film trough it.

Got my hands on it yesterday and it looks very nice. No scratches, dings or dents. Light seals were completely sticky so I replaced them last night.
Getting a zinc/air battery today and will shot a roll of Fuji Superia 400.
