The Spartus "35" and "35F" were a series of cameras for 35mm film made by Spartus, and subsequently Herold and Galter, of Chicago USA.

The original black version of the body bears a strong resemblance to the Argus A. Later Spartus "35" models from Herold Products switched to a gray & silver body style somewhat reminiscent of the Kodak Pony. Different lens & shutter combinations were sold, some of which offered a scale focusing lens. The "F" designation indicated a top connector offering flash sync.
