Halina 500, an Olympus Trip 35 clone

The Halina 500 is a 60's camera that is based on the Olympus Trip design. It has a scale focus 40mm/f2.8 lens.

It focuses manually, using a distance scale on top of the lens or a scale in meters/feet at the bottom.
The camera is automatic, a CDS meter selects either a 1/40th sec speed either a 1/200th and the apropriate aperture from f2.8 to f22. Therefore the minimum light setting for this camera will be a 1/40th f2.8 combination. The meter cell needs a 1.35V battery that is obsolute now, I've put a 1,5 LR44 cell and worked fine.

Here are some samples with a 200 ASA film. The camera produced some fine, sharp and well exposed images.
      




I found a light leak, but it is not present in all of the shots
