The Aires Penta 35 is an SLR produced by Aires and introduced c.1960.[1] This original Penta 35 has a 5cm, f/2.8 Coral lens and no light meter. It was marketed in the UK as the Aires Reflex 35.
In contrast to Japan's then-current rush towards focal-plane shutter SLRs, the Penta 35 uses a Seikosha leaf shutter (with EV coupling of the aperture and shutter rings); and economizes by only offering a non-removable, 4-element lens. The owner's manual indicates the lens diaphragm automatically stops down for exposure but only reopens (for the brightest viewing image) as the film is wound on. A rapid-wind lever and a split-image focusing aid are included. Supplementary wide and telephoto attachments were also available.
This was followed by an improved version with a 6-element Coral F/2.0 lens, the Aires Penta 35 LM —not so designated on the camera but recognized by the selenium meter at the front of the pentaprism housing. The top-deck meter needle indicates LV numbers which the user must manually transfer to the scale on the lens.
