The 35A was built by Kowa Optical Works in Nagoya, Japan c1959. It's a range focusing camera with a top shutter speed of 1/300 of a second. The lever on the front requires two strokes to advance the film to the next frame and stops when in position. The camera usually uses a Prominar lens by Kowa and a Ceres Shutter. It has a very large size bright line viewfinder for its time, which has good back distance allowance for glasses users, and appears 100% match for the 45mm f/3.5 standard Prominar lens. The Century 35A also has the odd self-ejecting back with no hinge that lets the back be removed completely. It also has a frame counter that is manually set and counts down to zero, a ¼” 20 thread tripod mount, an accessory mount but no synchronized flash port, a rewind release button, a rewind knob that pulls up to release the film cartridge, and double exposure protection by locking the shutter release after exposing a frame. The camera was focused by guessing the distance from 3 foot to infinity because it had no rangefinder is fitted.
