The same as Halina 150, made by Haking in Hong Kong I believe. Not the old time Ansco.
Fixed focus 33mm triplet lens. According to the color of the reflections at least 2 surfaces could be coated (the tint is very light though). Three aperture settings. Single blade sing speed behind-the-lens shutter. Fully mechanical.
what do you do when you're at a loose end? i like to sit in front of my own camera making strange gestures with my hands!
While helping my father yesterday we came across this camera; it seems that it would work, but even if it doesn't I really like the aesthetic of it and looking through the viewfinder.
This is my primary viewfinder. I made this from the cardboard backing from a pad of paper; the outside dimensions are 5.5" x 6" (12.7 cm x 16.5 cm) and the inside dimensions are 3" x 4.5" (7.5 cm x 11.5 cm).
The inside dimension is the important one, giving me an aspect ratio of 1.5:1, similar to aspect ratio of 35mm film. Not that 1.5:1 is the only format, but it makes a good starting point, and is something convenient and familiar when working outside.
I attached a sheet of acetate with Scotch tape, and drew on the gridlines with a permanent marker (Sharpie or similar).

My old and trusty E-510 developed a bad case of button malfunction. It didnt care what mode was dialed , it just switched from mode to mode, very frequently even to panoramatic. It also turned itself off and on every few seconds. For some time it could be fixed by rubber band pushing the mode dial down, but it wasn't very practical and it also didn't work eventually. The repair costs were estimated around $250 so fixing it wasn't an option. I got second hand E520 (cheaper than that) instead. My poor E510 collected dust in the drawer. But during the holidays I decided I will try to fix it. It actually wasn't that difficult and since it seems to be a common problem I decided to share few pics I made during the operation.
So you need - clean table, good eye, brave heart and steady hand, tiny Philips screwdriver, cotton swabs for cleaning ears, piece of paper (optional). Since you will eventually need to remove screws in the flash compartment, open the flash door first. Then remove the battery and the memory cards. Then you have to remove all the screws holding the viewfinder (4 of them).

For people like me who have not previously used a Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) camera the viewfinder can be both very cool and extremely disorientating. It’s cool seeing a framed up shot and makes composition easier. The disorientation comes from the left and right being inverted. What I’m trying to say is if you move and point the camera to the right in the viewfinder it appears to move to the left.
So in this photo my hand in the real world was coming in from the right.
Daily Shoot assignment: Use a window or a door as a frame for your subject today in a photograph.
For this image I made a viewfinder graphic and printed it onto a transparency sheet. I held the transparency in front of a painting and took the shot. It is my interpretation of a window. The painting is by Bryce Hammond.

A Japanese 35mm viewfinder from 1953. I like the unique looking and the small size. The entire lens/shutter assembly can be easily taken off by unscrewing the four exposed screws -- no need to peel off any of the leatherette. The shutter is very simple, supporting three speeds --1/25, 1/50, 1/100 -- all by varying the tension of a main spring. Shutter speed tests show that all the speeds are actually within 1/40-1/60, even after some attempts to adjust the spring. Better just treat it as a single speed 1/50. Since the aperture goes up to f/26, it should easily handle ASA 100 or 200 films.
Early on in the trip, I tried much time trying to get a picture of a clingfish. They are under rocks so you have to gently lift a rock then the clingfish would be appear. Before I could ever see the clingfish in my viewfinder, it would swim off to the other side of the rock. The lack of success just made me more determined to get a picture of one. Then I did a night dive and the clingfish were out in the open, hunting, not skittish like during the day.
This is a secondary viewfinder. Outside dimensions are 5.5" x 6" (12.7 cm x 16.5 cm) and the inside dimensions are 3" x 4.5" (7.5 cm x 11.5 cm).
The inside dimension gives me an aspect ratio of 1.5:1, similar to aspect ratio of 35mm film. Not that 1.5:1 is the only format, but it makes a good starting point, and is something convenient and familiar when working outside.
I use the two punched holes that you see on the right side to isolate specific colors or values in my subject matter; for example, isolating the greens for a line of trees, or the specific blues in various parts of the sky.
I attached a sheet of clear acetate with Scotch tape, and drew on the gridlines with a permanent marker (Sharpie or similar), which you can see in this view of the viewfinder's back.

Ginza is a district of Chuo, Tokyo, located south of Yaesu and Kyobashi, west of Tsukiji, east of Yurakucho and Uchisaiwaicho, and north of Shinbashi.
It is known as an upscale area of Tokyo with numerous department stores, boutiques, restaurants and coffeehouses. Ginza is recognized as one of the most luxurious shopping districts in the world. Many upscale fashion clothing flagship stores are located here, being also recognized as having the highest concentration of western shops in Tokyo. Prominent are Abercrombie & Fitch, Chanel, Dior, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton.[1] Flagship electronic retail stores like the Sony showroom and the Apple Store are also here.
Ginza is named after the silver-coin mint established there in 1612 during the Edo period.
After the Tsukiji area burnt to the ground in 1872, the Meiji government designated the Ginza area as model of modernisation. The government planned the construction of fireproof brick buildings, and larger, better streets connecting the Shimbashi Station and the foreign concession in Tsukiji, as well as to important government buildings. Designs for the area were provided by the Irish-born architect Thomas Waters; the Bureau of Construction of the Ministry of Finance was in charge of construction. In the following year, a Western-style shopping promenade on the street from the Shinbashi bridge to the Kyobashi bridge in the southwestern part of Chuo with two- and three-story Georgian brick buildings was completed.
"Bricktown" buildings were initially offered for sale, later they were leased, but the high rent meant that many remained unoccupied. Nevertheless, the area flourished as a symbol of "civilisation and enlightenment", thanks to the presence of newspapers and magazine companies, who led the trends of the day. The area was also known for its window displays, an example of modern marketing techniques.
Most of these European-style buildings disappeared, but some older buildings still remain, most famously the Wako building with the now-iconic Hattori Clock Tower. The building and clock tower were originally built by Kintaro Hattori, the founder of Seiko.
Its recent history has seen it as a promiment outpost of western luxury shops. Ginza is a popular destination on weekends, when the main north-south artery is closed to traffic. The traffic blockade began in the 1960s under governor Ryokichi Minobe.
ViewFinders Overseas Outing Nov 2010 Japan - Sensō-ji (Asakusa)
Sensō-ji (金龍山浅草寺, Kinryū-zan Sensō-ji?) is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, Taitō, Tokyo.
It is Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of its most significant. Formerly associated with the Tendai sect, it
became independent after World War II. Adjacent to the temple is a Shinto shrine, the Asakusa Shrine.[1]
The temple is dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon, also known as Guan Yin or the Goddess of Mercy.
According to legend, a statue of the Kannon was found in the Sumida River in 628 by two fishermen, the
brothers Hinokuma Hamanari and Hinokuma Takenari. The chief of their village, Hajino Nakamoto, recognized
the sanctity of the statue and enshrined it by remodeling his own house into a small temple in Asakusa, so
that the villagers could worship the Kannon.[2]
The first temple was built on the site in 645, which makes it the oldest temple in Tokyo.[3] In the early
years of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu designated Sensō-ji as tutelary temple of the Tokugawa
clan.[4]
The Nishinomiya Inari Shrine is located within the precincts of Sensō-ji; and a torii identifies the entry
into the hallowed ground of a Shinto shrine. A bronze plaque on the gateway structure lists those who
contributed to the construction of the torii, which was erected in 1727 (Kyōhō 12, 11th month).[5]
During World War II, the temple was bombed and for the most part destroyed. It was rebuilt later and is a
symbol of rebirth and peace to the Japanese people. In the courtyard there is a tree that was hit by a
bomb in the air raids, it had regrown in the husk of the old tree and is a similar symbol to the temple
itself.
Sensō-ji is the focus of Tokyo's largest and most popular matsuri (Shinto festival), Sanja Matsuri. This
takes place over 3–4 days in late spring, and sees the surrounding streets closed to traffic from dawn
until late evening.
Pilgrims and tourists flocking to Sensō-ji have shopped at the small stores here for centuries.Dominating
the entrance to the temple is the Kaminarimon or "Thunder Gate". This imposing Buddhist structure features
a massive paper lantern dramatically painted in vivid red-and-black tones to suggest thunderclouds and
lightning. Beyond the Kaminarimon is Nakamise-dori with its shops, followed by the Hōzōmon or "Treasure
House Gate" which provides the entrance to the inner complex. Within the precincts stand a stately five-
story pagoda and the main hall, devoted to Kannon Bosatsu.[6]
Many tourists, both Japanese and from abroad, visit Sensō-ji every year. Catering to the visiting crowds,
the surrounding area has many traditional shops and eating places that feature traditional dishes (hand-
made noodles, sushi, tempura, etc.). Nakamise-Dori, the street leading from the Thunder Gate to the temple
itself, is lined with small shops selling souvenirs ranging from fans, ukiyo-e (woodblock prints), kimono
and other robes, Buddhist scrolls, traditional sweets, to Godzilla toys, t-shirts, and cell-phone straps.
These shops themselves are part of a living tradition of selling to pilgrims who walked to Sensō-ji.
Within the temple itself, and also at many places on its approach, there are omikuji stalls. For a
suggested donation of 100 yen, visitors may consult the oracle and divine answers to their questions.
Querents shake labelled sticks from enclosed metal containers and read the corresponding answers they
retrieve from one of 100 possible drawers.
Within the temple is a quiet contemplative garden kept in the distinctive Japanese style.
The Nakamise-dōri (仲見世通り?) is a street on the approach to the temple. It is said to have come about in
the early 18th century, when neighbors of Sensō-ji were granted permission to set up shops on the approach
to the temple. However, in May 1885 the government of Tokyo ordered all shop owners to leave. In December
of that same year the area was reconstructed in Western-style brick. During the 1923 Great Kantō
earthquake many of the shops were destroyed, then rebuilt in 1925 using concrete, only to be destroyed
again during the bombings of World War II.
The length of the street is approximately 250 meters and contains around 89 shops.[7]
