Revision as of 20:23, 2 May 2011

The Halina A1 was a TLR made in Hong Kong by Haking, based on the same body as the more basic Halina Prefect. This slightly higher-spec camera had gear-coupled focusing of the viewing and taking lenses, the latter an f/ 3.5 Halina Anastigmat.

A version branded Star-Lite has been noted[1]—confusingly, as that name was also used on a variant of the simpler Halina Viceroy.
