Made In Japan | Graflex Century 35 Review
While you may not equate "Graflex" with rare, especially in the mid-century date range, the Graflex Century 35 is rare simply because it was only available for a couple years and was only manufactured for one. However, the camera that the Century is based on, the Kowa Kallo 35, is a far more readily available fixed-lens rangefinder from Japan. But don't dismiss it out of hand; the Century is a well-made and perfectly capable fixed-lens rangefinder that still throws some weight both in optics and physical weight.
