Konica Pop
written by mikahsupageek on 2011-06-01 #gearThe Konica Pop (aka C35 EFJ in Japan) is a popular, compact, point and shoot, 35mm Japanese camera. It was fabricated in 1982. It only features a couple of settings like: the 100 ISO or 400 ISO setting, making it very easy to use. I've recently acquired this camera and already love it!
