The Kodak Signet 35 was Kodak's top American made 35mm camera of the 1950's. The Signet 35 has a coupled coincident image rangefinder, an excellent Ektar 44 mm lens with rear helicoid focus, automatic film stop counter with double exposure prevention, all built into a sturdy cast aluminum alloy body. You have to manually cock the shutter. The shutter works fairly well, but compared with the shutters on equivalent German and Japanese cameras of the period, it's a real disappointment.
La Kodak Signet 35 era una cámara fotográfica de 35mm, americana de gama superior de Kodak de los años 50. Es telémetrica, con objetivo excelente Ektar de 44 mm, con el foco helicoide posterior, contador automático de película, con un sistema de doble prevencion de la exposición, construida todo en un cuerpo robusto de aleación de aluminio moldeado. Se tiene que cargar manualmente el obturador. El obturador funciona bastante bien, pero comparado con los obturadores en las cámaras fotográficas alemanas y japonesas equivalentes del período, es verdaderamente inferior.
