Throwback Edit Version: I edited this in August 2024, checked links and converted it to the new WordPress format. While doing this I encountered some formatting issues, especially with the galleries.

This camera has a couple of names EFJ and C35 Pop. It is from the 1980s and originally came in a few bright colours and the regular black version. It has a fixed shutter speed of 1/125, a fixed f4 aperture, a fixed focal length of 36mm, and is powered by 2 AA batteries. A real point-and-shoot.

It is a little quirky looking with the rewind crank on the base. The date back on mine, a late 80’s addition, did not work. There is an iso setting switch on the front, the rest of the camera is automatic. There is a low light warning, but it did not stop the shutter firing. On this example, the shutter button was quite ‘soft’ and a few times it fired while in my bag, I recommend not cocking the shutter until you are ready to take a photo.BUT did it work otherwise? Here is my test roll.

There were a few other photos of friends, but they asked not to be included in this post. At a distance of more than 1m it worked well, less than that the photos were out of focus. On the whole, I thought this was a lovely little camera. I would keep it…but I have already sent it to a friend.
