1965 Nikkorex Auto 35   has a pentaprism finder rather than a porro-mirror finder which had been used since the Nikkorex 35. The finder eyepiece in now centered, and the mirror is of the instant return type. The camera has auto exposure with shutter priority, the first automatic camera built by Nikon. The new design has rounded corners, advance lever hidden underneath the top plate and the shutter release in front of the body, the only Nikon to have the release in this position. The lens is an  f2 / 48mm fixed Nikkor.  Screw in auxiliary lenses were sold, resulting in a 35/4 wide angle and a 85/4 telephoto. (see last two pictures)
