Description

This was my grand father's camera. That explains why I've taken the liberty to make the Orange cover myself, in order to replace a decaying black leatherette. The camera was CLAd in 2015 and is fully functionnal at all speeds.

Compact rangefinder camera with interchangeable lens.
Standard lens is an OPLAR 5cm/3.5
Speeds go from 1/25th up to 1/1000th of a second.
Electronic and megnesic flash sync in seperate sockets.
The rewind button is flat and sports a reminder of the film speed.

The warranty leaflet has the date April 13th, 1957 written, and comes from Pathéphone, 28 rue des Dominicains in Nancy, France.
