The Hunter 35 is a small, cheap 35mm viewfinder camera from c.1955, made in Germany for British distributor Sands Hunter. It may also have been sold as the IDEAL Color 35; the case for the illustrated example is marked (and spelled) thus.

The winder is a knob with satellite knobs, rotating 180° for each frame; used with the thumb, this works almost as well as a lever wind. The back has a weather symbol exposure table for various film speeds. The base removes for loading; to load the film, the end is pushed into a slot on the take-up spool, then both spool and cassette put into the camera, carefully guiding the film in front of the pressure plate.

  • Lens: Steiner (Bayreuth) 45mm f3.5
  • Shutter: speeds 1/25-1/200 + B with flash sync.
