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.

Type: viewfinder camera
Year of launch: 1959
Films: 35mm
Lens: 1:3.5 / 45mm Halina Anastigmat (triplet, front and rear elements single coated, middle element uncoated)
Shutter: speeds 1/25-1/200 seconds plus B.
Aperture: 1:3.5-1:16

and evening music

Halina Paulette Electric camera

My cute Halina Paulette Electric, I need to clean it and put it in a film.

The Halina Paulette Electric was a viewfinder camera with an uncoupled selenium meter, made by Haking in Hong Kong, introduced in 1967. The meter scale on the top plate reads in EV numbers, which are transferred to an EV-number window on the lens barrel, linked to the aperture and speed rings. Film speed (25-400 ASA) is set by moving the sleeve with the EV window along a scale marked on the speed ring, below the meter window.

Type: Viewfinder camera.
Film: 35mm
Lens: 1:2.8 / 45mm Halinar Anastigmat.
Distance focusing (not coupled to the viewfinder) from 3 feet to infinity.
Shutter speed: 1/30-1/250s, plus B. (Flash X-synch at 1/30s)
Aperture: f/2.8-16
Film speed selection: manual, ASA/ISO 25-400.
