Cosina AF-35



The most crazy feature of this camera is the pop-up-finder. Bodies of the late 70s cameras are nothing less than streamlined. For me this makes them charming. But its a pita to clean the dust attracting plastic bodies!
The manual is here


An early AF-compact. AF-system Visitronic (passive). Like most other AFs from the late 70s it has a 38mm lens. The camera has no AF-memory. For off-center framing you have to change to a optional zone focus

  2. Since yesterday, I also have this camera.
    Can you give me details about the shutterspeed and the ranges of the optical zone focus system..?
    Trial and error may get a little expensive on this ;-]
