Hanimex RF35

Hanimex RF35 Yet another small 1970s rangefinder :o)
This camera resembles a typical small 1970 range finder in line with the Canonet 28, Konica C35 and Minolta Hi-Matics.

Hanimex has, as far as I know, never made any cameras themselves but was primarily importing cameras into Australia. In the 1980s they have tried to export to other counries as well but well, aparently not with much luck as they went bankrupt sometime late 1980s or during the 1990s.

I have compared this camera with other cameras in my collection but have not yet found a similar one. So it might have been designed and produced especially for Hanimex or I simply don't have the original version of this camera (wow, there are cameras I don't own!).
