The Graflex Graphic 35 was a 35mm rangefinder camera initially made by Graflex in the U.S. and later by Kowa for Graflex [1].
It was introduced in 1955 as a replacement for the Graflex Ciro 35. Although based on the Ciro 35's basic design, essentially every mechanical part as well as the styling was modified. The camera was focussed by push buttons located on either side of the lens, and the shutter was released by pulling outward on a lever mounted on the front of the camera body. Production ended in 1958 [2].
The Graphic 35 was available with either an f3.5 or f2.8 lens. A Prontor SVS shutter with speeds to 1/300 was used and featured V, X, and M flash synchronization. The rangefinder was of the split image type and used a separate viewfinder from that used to compose the image.

Notes
- ↑ This statement requires validation, since all images in the public domain show a printed or embossed "made in USA" notice inside the film chamber.
- ↑ The Graphic 35 however continued to be promoted by magazine advertising: e.g. March 1958 National Geographic, 1959 Rochester 8 New York magazine, a listing in UK Amateur Photographer magazine's June 1960 Annual Camera Guide, plus the December 1960 edition of US Modern Photography's Annual Camera Guide.
