Konica Film

I recently found a Konica C35 EFP camera. My only problem is that I am not exactly sure how to manually rewind the film. I don't want to play around with it too much because I do not want to ruin the pictures I took.
Thank you.

There is a small button underneath the camera you need to press to disengage the film wind mechanism, press this and you can rewind the film back into the cassette.

Heres the manual for your camera.

Peel-apart film! I make the mistake of calling this Polaroid when in reality I am using Fuji film.

I have a 35mm Konica Minolta Maxxum 70, and I was wondering if you could use any type of commercial film for the camera? Or do I need to order some online? If so, where can I do that?

Any film from ISO 6-6400 can be used. DX-coded film from ISO 50-5000 will be set automatically. Flash can be used with ISO25-1000 film.

My mom went to a garage sale and bought me a new camera. Mind you, it was released in 1995 and is no longer being sold. Well, I develop my own film, but I'm not sure how this camera works. It's a Konica Minolta Maxxum 350si film camera... Is there a way to release the film and rewind the film myself so that I can remove and develop the film? Or does it do it automatically?

That camera does not have a manual rewind. When the roll is finished the motor will automatically wind the film back.
If you want to rewind the film before it is finished you should look for a rewind button - there should be one the symbol of that button should look like the film symbol on the top LCD monitor plus two triangular back arrows.
Something like this:
O___<< - it's only rough approximation.

I have not found a manual online for that camera but here you can find manuals for the Maxxum 300si and the Maxxum 400si - one of those should be similar enough - at least as controls are concerned

Hope it helps.

Hi,

I once owned a 35mm Konica-branded film camera with model number BM-301 or BM-302. I loved this camera dearly and knew exactly how it was going to behave before taking any picture and in every situation. The unthinkable happened and I no longer own this camera :( I have scoured the internet and online auction shops for months to try find the same model camera with no luck. If anyone the same model camera, or knows anyone who no longer needs it, I would love to hear from them. I am hoping the camera will be in good, working condition but I will also consider otherwise. I am happy to pay for any shipping costs to have it sent to me and off course I will be happy to pay a reasonable amount for the camera itself.

If anyone can help, please advise.

Thankyou

gday mate yeh try Michaels camera store in Melbourne Australia..has a great range of shand camera and have seen a wide range of second hand Konicas there, good luck and all the best from ...pah

I'm using a Konica Minolta film camera and when I go to get the film developed it all comes out blank.
I loaded the film properly and all..whats wrong?

What do you see when you look at the film strip? If it's a negative, then is it clear, or dark? If the film looks clear, it's underexposed, and possibly not exposed at all. That means your settings are off, or the film never wound onto the takeup spool and/or never advanced. That would be a mechanical failure.

Get an old roll of film. Or you can sometimes buy expired film cheap. Load it into your camera, and with the back open, wind the film on, click the shutter and advance the film. See if it's doing it right. Then you'll want to throw that roll away, as it won't be good for taking pictures.

If your camera passed that test, then it's likely your exposure, which means it's something else going wrong. Your meter isn't working properly, or your shutter isn't opening or something.

With no film in your camera, open the back and look inside while you trip the shutter and advance the film, and see what the shutter does. Don't touch the shutter, though. It's very delicate. If it appears to operate properly, changing speed as you change shutter speeds, then it might be something else. It could still be that the shutter speeds are off, though. You'd have to time them, and at the higher speeds that's hard to do.

If you're still left with no clue what's wrong, then check your batteries. See if putting in new ones fixes your problem. Sometimes it's an easy fix. If that doesn't work, take your camera to a reputable camera store and have them look it over. Show them the film. It might need to be sent in for a clean, lube and adjust.
