the first cheap 35mm camera. came out in 1936 (this copy was made in '39), and it sucks. lens is a 50mm triplet in an Ilex shutter, adjustable from f/4.5 to f/11 and 1/25 to 1/200 with two fixed focus positions. film transport is basically identical to the C3 although the A does not have a spring-loaded pressure plate. more importantly though it looks frickin sweet i can't wait to go try it out
