"The Halina 35x is a masterpiece of design, in that it looks like an expensive camera....In 1959, the Halina 35x cost £7 13s. 3d." http://www.marriottworld.com/pieces/pieces34.htm#35x
Found this 35mm viewfinder camera in a charity shop for a fiver. Yes for five UK pounds in all it's luxurious metal shininess. I'll be using the Sunny 16 rule as there's obviously no built in light meter. Not that I can afford to use film extensively as I do with digital. Just another outlet in my creative philosphy. So it's all buffed up and looking nice but will road test with a roll of film this week to really know if it's still useable.
The specs for the technical minded people are
* Type: viewfinder camera
* Year of launch: 1959
* Films: 35mm
* Lens: 1:3.5 / 45mm Halina Anastigmat
* Shutter: speeds 1/25-1/200 sec and Bulb mode.
* Aperture: 1:3.5-1:16
Stumble It!
