The '''Konica Pop''' (aka '''C35 EFJ''' in Japan) was a popular [[35mm]] [[compact camera]] by [[Konica]], made from 1982. It had fixed focus, one shutter speed, and manual film advance by lever. It has [[CdS]]-controlled auto-exposure and a built-in flash. It was available in many bright colours along with the original black. After selling 1.5 million models, new versions were launched in 1985 (including a metallic silver example). These late editions did not say "Hexanon" on the lens, but the flash had an improved recharge time. An Autodate model was issued in about 1988. | The '''Konica Pop''' (aka '''C35 EFJ''' in Japan) was a popular [[35mm]] [[compact camera]] by [[Konica]], made from 1982.

The Konica Pop (aka C35 EFJ in Japan) was a popular 35mm compact camera by Konica, made from 1982. It had fixed focus, one shutter speed, and manual film advance by lever. It has CdS-controlled auto-exposure and a built-in flash. It was available in many bright colours along with the original black. After selling 1.5 million models, new versions were launched in 1985 (including a metallic silver example). These late editions did not say "Hexanon" on the lens, but the flash had an improved recharge time. An Autodate model was issued in about 1988.
