FODOR 35
The Fodor 35, a lot of metal to expose a 35 mm film. In fact, the camera weights 670 g. Fodor was a Dutch distributor of photographic equipment, so this camera is Japanese Taron 35 made by Nihon Kōsokki Company Limited around 1955 - 1957.
Lens: Lausar 2.8/45 mm, made by Tomioka Opt. Co.
Shutter: leaf shutter NKS-MX, 1 - 1/300 s and B, cocked with the film advance lever
Focussing: rangefinder, 1 m to infinity.
Flash: PC-socket, M and X synchronization
Dimensions: 131x86x64 mm, 670 g.
The film advance lever works very precisely and you only need 135 degree for a stroke. The frame counter is in the lever and has to be reset manually. There is also a small window which indicates whether the film is advanced.
The highlight of the camera is the shutter, made by Nihon Kōsokki itself. Even after a long shelf-live it runs perfectly.
