Semi-Leotax, a folding camera for 16 4.5x6cm pictures on 120 film. Made by Showa Optical Works, Japan, around 1940. Vertically styled folding camera with S-Reginon 1:3.5 f=7.5cm lens in flash synchronized Wester NKK shutter (B, 1 - 1/200 sec). Built-in self timer. Parallax corrected viewfinder. Looks like the strut design was copied from the Zeiss Ikon Super Ikontas. Camera is in very good condition: lens is clear, shutter works at all speeds, self timer works, bellows are in good condition.
