About this model:
In 1950 ACME debuted the ACME D1, which was exclusively designed for professional photographers. The company managed to produce a high-performance lens to be ranked top for the next twenty years. In addition, the new D1 model got new functions, including a rangefinder in one bright window, and as a result, D1 become the most popular model with over 416,000 units sold by 1957, when production of the D1 terminated.
Comparing to any other ACME model, including the contemporary D8, the D1 has an excellent viewfinder. It proved to be a durable, highly reliable camera that performed well even in difficult conditions that professional photographers are frequently forced to deal with.
