It was exported to western countries under the name Certo Super 35. The Super Dollina II was in production for a very long time and remained their top of the line model as the company would produce increasingly less expensive and basic cameras.

Lovely pictures of a lovely camera!

However, the name "Certo" made me chuckle! For those who don't know, "Certo" is the name of a brand of pectin! (Used to thicken jellies and jams.) 🤣
