The '''Windsor 35''' is a [[35mm]] [[rangefinder camera]] made in Japan by [[Tōkō Shashin]] (TKC logo; later called the Windsor Camera Co.), c.1953. There were two models, the original 1953 has the accessory shoe in a flat part of the top place, the later 1954 model has the higher part of the top plate surrounding the shoe. The shutter is either a TKS (perhaps for <U>T</U>ō<U>k</U>ō <U>S</U>hashin), 1-1/200, with ASA or PC [[flash sync]] or a Velex 1-1/200 with PC sync; the later models only have the Velex. The lens is marked TKC C Color-Sygmar, 50mm f3.5.

The 1957 Windsor II is similar, but with a restyled, flatter top plate and a Velex shutter running to 1/300.

The Windsor 35 is a 35mm rangefinder camera made in Japan by Tōkō Shashin (TKC logo; later called the Windsor Camera Co.), c.1953. There were two models, the original 1953 has the accessory shoe in a flat part of the top place, the later 1954 model has the higher part of the top plate surrounding the shoe. The shutter is either a TKS (perhaps for Tōkō Shashin), 1-1/200, with ASA or PC flash sync or a Velex 1-1/200 with PC sync; the later models only have the Velex. The lens is marked TKC C Color-Sygmar, 50mm f3.5.
