auxiliary lenses Konica C35

[Kat]

Hi, does anybody have these auxiliary lenses? What do they look like? Are they any good?

I've never heard or seen one of them, but interested. BTW, what is a black C35 worth in excellent conditon?

Kat, there is an auto-up close up lens:

Thanks, zuiko!

Bill, I don't think the prices go crazy-high for the black ones like they do with canonets, etc. You should be able to see the prices of the recent auctions in ebay.

Kat:

Thank you. My two silver C35s are very sharp.

GeneW now owns my C35 w/ Auto-up; he may be interested in selling the kit or maybe the auto up alone. Give him a PM.

Thanks, Trius! That's a pretty good performance out of your auto-up. Hmmm...I'll give it some thought, I can't think of really needing one and my C35 has a meter problem so I'm still trying to pick up a better one (I just bought an underwater case off ebay). I was actually gonna get rid of the C35, but after months of focusing problems, I finally had the RF aligned, and I was just blown away by its results, I immediately changed my mind about not having a C35 around.

You're welcome, Doris. BTW, I don't think I did any sharpening on those shots. They were scanned to TIFF and then resized & saved to JPG for the web. So some sharpening would make them look even better.
