Chronology of cameras Minolta
Traduction de PB
The 35 series was a Leica clone developped by CKS (Chiyoda Kogaku Seiko). On these first model, the front plate supporting the lens is flat.
As all the model 35 from the A version, there is only some slightly differences and except the serial number, it is sometimes difficult to know the type.
The main differences from the previous versions are the size of the image which increase from 24 x 32 mm to 24 x 33 mm. The slow speed selected on the front of the camera are now visible from the top.
Main features
- separate slow speed dial
- self timer
- 24 x 33 image size
- Max speed 1/500, B & T
- screw mount M39 interchangeable lens
