This week I would like to tell you about the camera that has been my constant companion to ballgames all around Japan for almost 30 years.

The little Konica C35 EF, bought second-hand in 1977, still takes great (close-up) pictures, although it is not exactly in perfect shape.

For one thing, it has no lens cap. I lost it somewhere at a Daiei Hawks game at Heiwadai Stadium in Fukuoka in 1989.
