Pentor Automatic 35-600
Pentor Automatic 35-600 with Anastigmat 2.8/40.
Made in Hongkong, cleary a Haking Halina 35-600. It was also sold as Hanimex Compact A, Weist 135L, Hitawa and certainly some more ..
The brand name "Pentor" was also used for products of Pentacon in the former GDR. I don't know if there is a connection, e.g. that Pentacon provided this camera.
It's cute and reminds me somewhat of the Olympus trip. It has zone focusing and a programmed automatic exposure control. If the light is not sufficient, a red, transparent flag appears in the viewer when the shutter button is pressed, the shutter won't fire then.
BTW: the cover of the battery compartment is of the type, that needed to be unscrewed with a coin. It's *by far* the most massive cover I've ever seen.
