The Konica C35 AF2 (1979) is the second iteration of Konica's autofocus C35 compact, following the original C35 AF (introduced 1977 or 1978) which was among the earliest production autofocus 35mm cameras. The AF2 refines the active-infrared autofocus system and programmed AE while retaining the fixed **Hexanon 38mm f/2.8** lens of its predecessor. Fully electronic, program-only exposure, no manual overrides. Aimed at the consumer snapshot market at a time when autofocus compacts were a genuine technological novelty.

Konica launched its first autofocus compact, the C35 AF, in the late 1970s and produced the AF2 in 1979 as an incremental improvement. The broader context is significant: Konishiroku (Konica) was a pioneer in compact autofocus, releasing one of the first such systems to reach mass production. The C35 AF line predates the more famous Nikon L35AF and Canon Sure Shot AF by a few years.
By the early 1980s the entire first-generation autofocus compact market was maturing rapidly; Konica's subsequent Big Mini line would become the premium compact successor in the 1980s and 1990s.
The C35 AF2 is historically notable as a second-generation autofocus compact from the company that helped introduce the technology. For working use it offers the Hexanon 38/2.8 - a capable lens with good center sharpness and Konica's characteristic color signature - in a fully automated package. It is more affordable than the cult-tier Big Mini models and more historically interesting than generic programmed compacts.
Used prices remain low because the camera predates the recent vintage compact boom's focus period and lacks the premium-compact cachet of the Big Mini or Hexar AF. A reliable copy is a practical shooter at modest cost.
