Notes & History

Historical Context

Aires was a highly regarded Japanese camera manufacturer active in the post-war era. The Aires 35 series rangefinders are famous for their fast lenses (like the f/1.9 H Coral) and precision Seikosha shutters, competing directly with high-end rangefinders of the 1950s.
