Ansco Anscomark M 35mm Film Camera, 2.8 Xytar Lens, Leather Case

An fine example of the Anso Anscomark M 35mm film camera from the early 1960s. One of the most stylish American cameras thanks to a collaboration among U. Photo and film company Ansco, Japanese camera maker Ricoh and industrial designer Raymond Loewy.

Camera and lens were made in Japan, serial #18685. A substantial and well made camera in overall excellent condition. Features include a 4-element 50mm f/3.5 Ansco Xytar lens, with nice clear glass and smooth focus and aperture controls; a10-speed + B Seikosha SL shutter is fitted with X (working) and M flash sync.

A working self-timer and smooth shutter speed adjustment. Smooth film advance, working frame counter. The viewfinder and rangefinder patch are clear and bright - with framing lines for optional Ansco Zyton 35mm and 100mm lenses. The built-in selenium meter is not working. The camera comes with a metal-trimmed leather case in good condition overall, but with some crease tears in the lower button flap.
