The Graflex Graphic 35 was a 35mm rangefinder camera made for Graflex by Kowa. It was introduced in 1955 as a replacement for the Graflex Ciro 35. It borrowed heavily from the Ciro 35's design but featured many improvements and unique mechanisms. 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.
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.
