introduction | original | pre-war | post war | Model I | Model II | Super 16 | Model IIIA | Tripod | Film | Filters | Waist Level finder

(1940, 1944? 19th Showa) A slightly modified version. The lens and shutter are the same.  The only difference is that with this model the viewfinder is built-in to the body -- a styling approach used on most "HIT"-type cameras.
