Theodora Keogh - The Double Door
Signet Books 958, 1952
Cover Artist: James Avati
"A throbbing novel of innocence and evil."
A cute little rangefinder that has a red dot, and not a Leica. I would not call it a poor man's Leica, but rather a 35mm Holga with a touch of class. The Ektar 44/3.5 from 1955 is a wonderful little Tessar, and luckily both rangefinder and focusing are spot on. Overall it is a lot of fun for little money.
There are only four shutter speeds to worry about, and two of them too slow. But the shutter is super quiet for its lack of energy. The other design fault is the bakelite or plastic bottom plate, otherwise it is a pretty decent all metal construction.
