The Konica Pop (aka C35 EFJ in Japan) is a 35mm compact camera by Konica, made from 1982. It has 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).
