The Honor 35 (オーナー35) or Honor S1 (オーナーS1) is a Japanese Leica copy, made from 1956 to 1959 by Mejiro Kōgaku, later Zuihō Kōgaku. It seems that the project was originally developed by Daiichi Kōgaku as the Ichicon-35 around 1954, before that company went bankrupt. The camera was succeeded in 1959 by the Honor SL.
Description
The Honor is copied on the Leica screw models, with a horizontally running focal-plane shutter and a screw mount lens.
