About

The Walz Envoy 35 is a well-made 35 mm rangefinder camera that was sold c.1959 by the Japanese company Walz. It was available with an f/1.9 or f/2.8 Kominar lens and fitted with a Copal SVL shutter. A camera offering a seven-element f/1.9 lens (a 4.8cm from Nitto Kogaku) at an affordable price was a particular selling point.[1] This is highlighted with lens trim-ring engravings reading "7-elements"[2] and even a diagram on the top deck showing a cross-section of the lens design.
