| 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". |
