Name one rangefinder with a built in flash

[schow]

Canon A35F (not AF35 I think). Manual focus RF camera. Reasonably good optics about the size of a QL17 GIII, only came in all black. My first real camera.

Yep, this is a good camera. First one I ever learned one, which probably explains my RF infatuation. As far as I can tell, it's a Canonet 28 with a flash that resides behind the "F" in this pic. Sorry as I don' t have a pic with the flash out ready to play.

I found 5 compact rangefinder cameras with buit in flash:
- canon A35F
- canon A35 datelux
- voigtlander VF 35 F
- cosina 35 FR
- porst 135 E

Konica C35F has a zone focus system and the Yasuhara T012 is not what i would call "compact"....
Any other ideas?
Thanks

good list, and since the OP didn't specify any format restrictions we should add the Canon 110ED, a 110 camera with RF and built in flash.

While not integrated into the camera body itself, the 1953 Canon IIF had an integrated "hot rail" on the left side that accepted a dedicated and proprietary bulb flash setup. While the flash was removable, it was probably one of the first 35mm rangefinder cameras with a dedicated, OEM flash solution that WAS integrated into the camera when mounted. Of course, this kind of flash probably predates even the Speed Graphic which had a similar flash bulb setup, and had a rangefinder system as well, if that counts.

Funny, my Canon 110ED only has a hot shoe and no built in flash, and all the 110ED images I Googled are the same way. Hmmm?

Thank you!
But in the canon 110ED the flash is not buit-in, is it?

I forgot the Mamiya Tower 41

Fuji GA645zi

That one is a glorified AF point-and-shoot. As far as I can make out, none of the RF Fujis had a integrated flash.

While we are at it, there must be more branded versions of the Cosina 35FR than the Porst - Cosina usually was only invisibly present as a OEM, and Porst was limited to Germany. Someone else (Vivitar, Tower, Hanimex or whatever) will have sold it in the English speaking world...

Thanks Sevo, i'm very interested in the story of these little cameras.

In fact Porst 135 E and Cosina 35 RF are exactly the same camera
