The GAF Memo 35ET is a compact 35mm rangefinder dating from 1975. Its design is reminiscent of the classic Konica C35 and Minolta Hi-Matic series, and it may well have been built for GAF by Cosina (although the GAF Memo 35 EE bore a "Chinon" brand in its lens), like very similar models such as the Vivitar 35EE and Prinz-E from Dixons. It is also a close cousin of the Chinon 35EE.
Aside from minor cosmetic differences, the main difference between the GAF Memo 35 ET and the EE is the latter had a faster f/2.7 lens, and a self-timer.
