One of its peculiarities was that the release was on the front panel.
It was also marketed in the UK by Ilford as the Ilford Sportsman in
r/f and non-r/f versions.
Took some fine shots with that little camera, but eventually PXed it
for a well-brassed Leica III - which is where my love affair with all
things Leitz began.
