The Royal 35-M fixed lens rangefinder camera was made by Royal Camera of Tokyo in 1957, featuring:

  • Rangefinder-coupled Tomioka Tominor f2.8 /45mm, or f1.9 / 45mm lens for the 35-M Deluxe, both to f16. Both lenses had 40.5mm filter size.
  • Copal MXV shutter with M and X flash sync.
  • Shutter speeds: B, 1, 1/2, 1/5, 1/15, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, 1/250, 1/500s.
  • 10-blade aperture diaphragm giving a nearly circular pupil.
  • Built-in non-coupled selenium meter read at the top of camera, indexed ASA 12-800 for high and low light levels and for readings with an accessory selenium booster cell.

Variations

Two export versions were called Ogikon 35E, available with both lens types, and with the front cover styling of the Royal 35LE. The Wirgin 19E was the European-market export version with the 45mm/f1.9 lens.
