The Halina 35X is a 35 mm viewfinder camera made by Haking in Hong Kong (China). It is a copy of the Ranger 35 made by Nihon Seiki. It's quite compact but heavy. The camera's back and its bottom are one part which has to be removed for loading a film. In the examples pictured, the shutter has to be cocked before each exposure, with a lever on the lens tube. On some examples, the shutter is cocked by advancing the film, however. On the bottom the camera has the imprinting "Empire made" (ones marked "MADE IN HONG KONG" exist too). Haking produced the 35X for its own brand Halina and for the brands Micronta and Sunscope.
