Richard,
I suspect you were thinking about the Kodak Signet 35 -- it has a
44m Ektar lens, which is an outstanding performer. The camera is a
little quirky (max. shutter speed is only 1/300), but a real joy to use...

In my high school days I used to covet the Kodak 35 but got an Argus
C4, which turned out just fine, that is until I got my 2.8C in Hong
Kong. I kept the Argus until 2007, in a home-made underwater
housing, at which time I just gave it to someone in this group, or
maybe the Exakta group.
I also wanted a Kodak Medalist- Is "Medalist" correct as a Kodak product?
Now I would go for a Rollei 35 as a favored classic camera. I was at
a lecture/book signing by David Breshears after he wrote his book
about filming Everest in Imax format. He spotted a Rollei 35 in the
audience and had the owner bring it up, saying it was a superb camera
for mountain climbing.
