Konica C35
There is something quite liberating about having a fixed lens camera do the exposure for you, it lets you forget that one technical aspect and concentrate on the making of the image. The Konica C35 does exactly that but with what I think is the added benefit of rangefinder focusing. With most autofocus point and shoots your never truly sure where it’s focused and I like to be in control of that. To me this is as close as it gets to simply converting what you see into a static image. There are of course multitudes of options for producing superior images. In that case though its like there is a layer of technology between the photographer and the image. It’s a subtle thing that I’m struggling to convey with words but using the Konica C35 or other cameras like it is a wonderful and simple photographic experience.
