This is a 120 format folding camera that gives either 6x6cm or 4x5x6cm photos. There are two "flaps" that flip up from the sides to mask off the opening, and two film-counter windows on the back. It also has two viewfinders, one for each format. Slide a button on the back to open up one window or the other; you can view through only one of them at any time. According to McKeowns, it was made circa 1953 by Suruga Seiki Co. in Japan. This is a really nice sample, it looks like it's hardly been used. The covering is pretty much intact with a beautiful finish, and the metal has some tarnish from age and some scratches, more than likely from rattling around in a camera bag than from any hard use. The lens is a C. Mihama Anastigmat f/3.5 75mm in an MSK shutter. Front element scale focusing marked, oddly enough, in feet. Stops down to f/22, with speeds of B, 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 300. Sounds good at all speeds. Please see pictures for best examples of item condition. Photos are of the item you will receive, should you be the winning bidder; not stock photos.
