"They were seven..."
The Kodak Signet 35 of 1951 replaced the ugly 35RF. The Signet 35 had a world class 44/3.5 Ektar, Tessar-type lens, focusing to 2 feet, set in a shutter that was cheap and inferior even by American standards. Why couldn't they have at least offered a deluxe model with a decent shutter as an option?
Which makes me wonder: the later Signet 40 had a better version of this shutter, with speeds from 1/5 to 1/400 and seemingly a bit better reliability, but mounted with a triplet lens. I wonder if you could swap the 44/3.5 Ektar into the Synchro 400 shutter and use it on either the Signet 35 or the Signet 40? It would be interesting to try.
1949; The Golden Sleep by Vivian Connell.
The Golden Sleep is the story of a tender and brillant, but uncontrolled young girl, cursed by her inability to reciprocate the love of any man - and of the Man who loves and hates her enough to let her life take its inevitable course.
Who else can paint this emotion but James Avati.
