Maluhia St between 9th & 10th
This venerable plumeria tree was pruned very thoroughly, but it's coming back...
The Nikkorex Auto 35 was a consumer level leaf shutter SLR offered by Nikon in the early 60s. It was not particularly successful, though it did offer an innovative (for the time) automatic aperture feature.
In appearance it was very similar to the Pentina, but that’s about all they have in common. I enjoy restoring “parts” cameras, but some are more of a challenge than others. This one proved to be a real hair puller, and even by the time I got to 5 bodies I had managed no success, mostly due to the devilishly frustrating linkage between the body, mirror return, shutter, and meter/aperture interface.

On Wednesday, it was sunny, in the 60's. Today, Saturday (of course) it barely broke 30 with snow and a persistent wind out of the north.
