      The Kodak 35 was introduced to compete with the Argus A. Unfortunately, in 1938 Argus introduced the C-series with a coupled rangefinder. Giving the non-rangefinder Kodak 35 stiff competition. To compete with the Argus C-series, the Kodak 35 rangefinder model was introduced in 1940. The hastily-designed rangefinder is gear-coupled to the front lens element through a cumbersome external linkage. This resulted in a camera design that has been described as "one that only a mother could love".
