  The Canon Canonet was released in 1961 and is remembered as Canon's first entry into the intermediate-class camera market, and also the first of the highly successful Canonet series of 35mm automatic-exposure rangefinder cameras. 


   The top plate only houses the shutter-release, with a locking ring for time-exposures, the frame counter and an accessory shoe. 

    The clean lines of the top are achieved by putting the advance lever underneath, together with the rewind crank, rewind release and back catch. The advance lever had an end which hinged downwards, making it easy to operate using the left middle- or third-finger. These controls on the bottom necessitate corresponding holes in the every-ready case. 

   Rangefinder focusing is controlled by a lever attached to the focus ring, also at the bottom of the camera.

MADE IN JAPAN

    The selenium meter cell is arranged around the Canon SE 45mm f1.9 lens - thus automatically compensating for filters; the aperture ring is scaled from f16 down to f1.9, followed by an "auto" setting (with a latch), for shutter priority automation. The Copal SV shutter has speeds from 1/500 down to 1sec, plus B. Film speed is set between 10-400 ASA by a lever in the shutter speed ring. 

-  The viewfinder features a bright-line, and a scale showing the aperture. 

-  There is a PC socket beside the lens, and a switch on the lens barrel for X- or M-flash sync. 

-  There is a self-timer - set by a lever on the lens barrel. 

-  The Canonet was also sold by Bell & Howell as the Bell & Howell / Canon Canonet 19.

Central Viva 126 1000

Mark: Fex Indo
Model: Central Viva 126 1000 
Country of manufacture: France
Beginning of manufacture: 1972
Film format: 126

The range of Viva 126 comprises several models: 126,126 black, 1000,2000,3000,5000, S, Scotch tape etc. All these models have the same features, only the presentation changes.



   The 126 1000 take again the presentation of the 126. The only difference is thus the existence of serigraphy “Viva 126 1000”. There exist two alternatives of the 1000 which are characterized by the position from serigraphy. On the first, it is on a pane located at the top of the objective. Over the second, the “Viva 126” is engraved on a black bottom, above the objective and a “Indo” 1000 is on false-wood, on the left of the objective. These differences are accompanied by a difference in color of the pictograms of Sun choice/Flash.

UTACAR Super De Luxe - Anny 35

The Anny 35 was an inexpensive Japanese camera that took 135 film. It was made by Hōei (transliterated as Houay on the camera) during the 1960s. It featured a single element 50mm f8 fixed focus lens, 1 shutter speed and a selection of f stops. 

The octagonal body shape, winding knob and lens barrel bear some resemblance to Hōei's Anny 44 127 film camera.
