Walcon Semi
The Walcon was a 4.5×6 folding camera sold by Walz. It is only known from a 1954 advertisement shown on this page (second ad posted 2005/08/04), where it was advertised as a new product. It was announced with a Kominar 75/3.5 lens and a Copal B-1-300 synchronized shutter, for ¥11,000, case included. The ad's picture showed a vertical style folding camera, with the optical finder enclosed in a top housing, an accessory shoe and body release. It was embossed WALCON in the front leather.
