This first version was constructed of metal with the top and bottom black anodized and body covered with a brown pig-skin. Designed with a unique periscope viewfinder that focused through the taking lens. This 35mm camera was fitted with a Lumar f3.5 50mm lens in an aluminum housing. The camera featured a fast focal plane shutter providing speeds of 1/30th to 1/1000th of a second plus bulb. It is recorded that only a few hundred were produced.
