This zone focus viewfinder 35mm camera was produced by Haking and was sold in the UK by Dixons.
It shares some features with the earlier Halina 500 and is often described as a clone of the popular Olympus Trip 35.
It has a Halina Anastigmat 40mm f/2.8 lens and like the Halina 500, the camera uses a CdS meter system, which is powered by a brand new PX625 battery.
The CdS-metering controls the aperture (f/2.8 to f/22) and shutter in a similar fashion to the Olympus Trip 35. The shutter release will be locked when light is too dim and a red flag will appear in the viewfinder.
Also like the Olympus Trip 35, the Camera has an Automode mode (A) which the user sets on a ring around the lens or sets the aperture for flash use. If selecting the aperture with an operational CdS metering the opeing of the aperture is also dependant on the light falling on the CdS system like the Olympus Trip 35.
Without the battery, unlike the Olympus Trip 35, the camera functions as a fully manual camera with shutter at the lower speed. The focus is by a 4 zone focus system (0.8, 1.5, 3m and infinity)and it supports ASA setting from 25-400 set by ring in front. The film advance is by thumbwheel and a standard tripod mount is on the base. There is a hot-shoe and PC sync cable point for flash.
The camera is supplied with a screw-in tripod mount hand strap, lens cap, black carry bag and a National PE-160C Electronic Flash unit in its original retail box. Both the camera and flash come with brand-new batteries.
Tested and brand-new batteries, this Trip clone is a great little snapper. The camera has been tested with the flash and works well. The Cds metering and red flag warning are both working. The cosmetic condition is good with just minor signs of wear/aging on some metal work (see photos).
