Going OT here, but here are some pix from my buddy Mark, who lives in
southern Alabama;
the apple of his eye, using Retro 80S:
He used HC-110B, which is a dev I got him started on. This is with the Nikon F100 and 1.4/50 AF and SB-25 strobe, but I'm for results, whatever the equipment. |

good luck with the C35, look forward to seeing your shots.
Your buddy's portraits are splendid - I had never heard of this film before so thanks for the education.

Thanks, folks, yes, that Rollei film is pretty dazzling. About the C35...the
focusing ring is stiff, RF focusing is off by at least 1.5 feet, and the meter
is shot. Waiting for a reply from Greg Weber to make sure he has the
parts before sending it to him. Cosmetically, it looks almost new. |

Greg (Weber Camera) has all the parts to fix the 6 different models of
C35. Cost is $100-$165USD includes new lightseals and battery conversion
(to SR44). I'm sending mine to him, but he is working on a railroad project out
of town, so will take awhile. |

Try out first , how good is it before spend 100 USD on a 10 USD camera...
mine is latest one with label Automatic, perhaps not require battery conversion.

Attila, the meter is dead (after installing a new zinc air batt) needle lays on
the bottom of '2.8'. At closest focus, I am more than 5 feet away, instead
of 3.5 feet, not good. Greg is the #1 go-to guy for Konica in the US.
The camera looks like new, so I'm willing to pay to have it fixed, and fixed
right the first time. |

I am worry about a bit this will be your 'second helomar'
 I suggest to look another one before spend this amount of money on it.
If possible look exactly like mine with label on front Automatic , (this was latest version, perhaps it takes alkaline battery already)

I'm still waiting on another one to arrive, who knows, it might have a

This might be another Helomar, but Greg comes highly recommended on
different forums, including flickr.
The automatic model is rare over here, most are just the simple 'C35'
model. |
