The Aires 35 IIIC is a leaf-shutter 35mm rangefinder camera made by Aires in 1957-1958. It's entirely mechanical, and features a Seikosha-MXLleaf shutter.
Specifications
It has a Self-timer, which the Seikosha-MXL does not have.
There is also a rewind and double exposures lever in the upper left corner of the unit. This lever returns when the hand is released in the earlier P Coral models, but remains fixed in the improved models. The knob of the rewind lever does not rotate in the early P Coral models, but it has been improved to rotate in the later models.
