NOTES:
  "c1947. 24x32mm. First 35mm SLR to have a metal focal plane shutter,
  instant return mirror and internally actuated automatic diaphram. An
  advanced camera for its time. Reflex focusing finder uses porroprism;
  a separate finder includes framing lines for 35mm, 50mm, & 90mm
  lenses. Only 50mm lens was produced." (McKeown, 1994).
  A bit of confusion regarding number produced - guess at between 300
  and 800. (TFG).
