The classic "Signet 35" is a high-end Kodak camera affectionately known as "Mickey Mouse." The Kodak Signet 35, manufactured by Kodak in the US from 1951 to 1958, boasts a texture unique to its die-cast light alloy construction. Its design, which perfectly utilizes the freedom of form, was the work of Arthur Crapsey of Kodak. The design, which features smooth curves and the repetition of horizontal lines, shows remnants of early 20th-century American Art Deco. The design balance with the symmetrical body is exquisite. The Ektar lens of the Signet 35 is also famous as a "typical Ektar," and I think it deserves to be called the "King of Ektar." Ektar is a name that Kodak only gives to its high-end lenses produced in-house, and once you get hooked on the depiction of Kodak's Ektar, you'll end up collecting cameras equipped with Ektar lenses. The resolution at the point of focus at the widest aperture is equal to or better than that of a Zeiss Tessar, and the out-of-focus areas are soft. When point light sources are used well, bubble bokeh appears, creating a very beautiful bokeh effect; it's a "fascinating lens." I am organizing my collection of cameras. The body has no dents or dings, and the optical system has almost no scratches, mold, or dust. It is in beautiful condition with no corrosion, a beautiful item. (This is my personal opinion.) Made in 1952, the early focus lever is easy to grip, making focusing easier. For a camera from 71 years ago, the leatherette shows no damage, and the camera case is also included. The shoulder strap has been replaced with a new one. The camera has been maintained, so you can start shooting immediately by inserting film. The viewfinder is Galilean type, bright and easy to see, and the coupled rangefinder is a single-lens reflex type with a clear and easy-to-see dual-image matching system. The dual image in the viewfinder is clear and crisp, making focusing easy. The sample photos were taken with a similar camera. The color and clarity are remarkable, and you wouldn't think they were taken with a camera from the 1950s. I have a feeling that wonderful photos can be taken. This is a camera that makes taking photos fun. I would like to pass it on to someone who will take good care of it. Thank you for your consideration.
