During my recovery from hip surgery, I?ve been watching a lot of old TV.  
I?ve particularly enjoyed a series called "Hawaiian Eye," about a pair of 
private detectives in Honolulu c. 1959-63. One of the sidekick characters is 
 "Cricket" Blake (played by Connie Stevens), a lounge singer who is also a 
photographer. She is shown here in the opening credits with what appears to 
be a Canon rangefinder. Can anyone identify the model? Note that the clip is 
from 1959, two years too early for the Canon 7.
