Made for Clarus MS-35, in the U. S. A. NY. The Clarus Model MS-35 was an American rangefinder camera for 35mm film. It was made from 1946-1952 by the Clarus Camera Manufacturing Company of Minneapolis. Designed by Paul Mann, it was the only camera model of that company. It was a sophisticated camera with a coupled rangefinder, a focal plane shutter with speeds 1/25-1/1000 +B, and the Clarus screw mount for interchangeable lenses. Standard lenses were a Wollensak Anastigmat 2 inch(50mm) f/2. 8, or a Wollensak Velostigmat 2 inch f/2. 8. Other available lenses were Elgeet 4 inch, Wollensak 101mm f3. 5, Wollensak 35mm f3. 5 and Wollensak Raptar 2 inch f2. 0. Viewfinder and rangefinder both had their own oculars in the camera back. The camera was offered with Wollensak Raptar 35mm f3. 5, Wollensak Raptar 101mm f3. 5, and a Wollensak Raptar 2" f2. 0.
