Halina Super 35X from 1963 and music with Agent Side Grinder


So this is the camera that I fall in love with and won on at auction today and it's a beauty, a red camera and a so hot!

The Halina Super 35X is an upgrade on the Halina 35X, made in Hong Kong by Haking, c.1963. 
The same as Halina 35X but with a restyled top plate featuring a larger viewfinder and lever wind.

The Halina 35X is a viewfinder camera made by Haking in British Hong Kong. It is a copy of the Ranger 35 made by Nihon Seiki. It's quite compact but heavy. The camera's back and its bottom are one part which has to be removed for loading a film. The shutter has to be wound up before each exposure with a lever on the lens tube. On the bottom, the camera has the imprinting "Empire made".
Empire made = made in the British Empire, of which Hong Kong was the last surviving territory.

Year of launch: 1959
