The Graflex Ciro 35 started out as the Perfex Cee-ay 35 in 1948. It was a very basic and cheap 35mm range finder camera, with a non interchangeable lens. Only eight months after it's introduction, Ciro (makers of the CiroFlex TLR) bought the design, and after some very slight changes, it was reintroduced as the Ciro 35. Of course, the story doesn't end there - soon Ciro sold out to Graflex, and the camera became the Graflex Ciro 35. To make things interesting, Graflex reworked the design and turned it into the Graphic 35 which featured a highly unusual focussing mechanism. Production of the camera was moved to Japan before the end of the 1950s.
