The Condor is a Japanese 35mm rangefinder. It is pretty obvious that its external aspect was copied on the Nikon S2. Various sources[1] attribute it to a company called Condor Camera. An example has been observed in a Yahoo Japan auction with a Condor A.C. Delta 4.5cm f/2.8 lens, a Rectus-MX B, 1–500 shutter and a logo on the top plate that probably reads Deller (or less plausibly Delter).
