Halina's Hong Kong-made 35mm viewfinder camera — 45mm f/3.5 triplet, 1/25-1/200+B, all manual, late 1950s

The Halina 35X is a 35mm viewfinder camera made by W. Haking in Hong Kong from the late 1950s, believed to be among Haking's first 35mm models. It is a copy of the Ranger 35 made by Nihon Seiki, styled loosely after German rangefinders of the day, and was also produced for the Micronta and Sunscope brand names. A restyled upgrade, the Halina Super 35X, followed around 1963.

The lens is a Halina Anastigmat 45mm f/3.5, a three-element triplet with single-coated front and rear elements and an uncoated middle element. The shutter offers speeds from 1/25 to 1/200 second plus B, and exposure is entirely manual with no meter, so settings come from a table, a hand meter or the Sunny 16 rule. Focusing is by scale on the lens. Despite its compact dimensions the all-metal body is notably heavy for its size.

It suits collectors of Hong Kong camera history and film shooters after a fully mechanical, battery-free camera with a distinctly low-fi character. The triplet lens delivers soft corners and modest contrast that many now seek out deliberately, though the stiff wind knob and squinty finder demand patience. It is a talking point and a learning tool more than a precision instrument.

Examples are plentiful and cheap, so hold out for a clean one. Work the shutter at every speed, as the simple mechanisms gum up and drag at 1/25, and check the double-exposure prevention and film advance engage properly, a known weak point on Haking's early mechanics. Inspect the lens for haze between elements, and expect the film pressure plate and takeup to need a careful test roll before trusting it with anything important.
