The mystery lens
I wrote: one with an MKS shutter (B, 10–200) and Mihama lens, the other with an NKS shutter (B, 1–200) and a different lens (one not branded Mihama). Strange wording indeed!
There's no illustration of this lens, which is referred to as セリター. In Hepburn that would be "Seritā"; in actual printed roman letters it could be Serita, Cerita, Selita, Celita, Seriter, Ceriter ... etc etc. Perhaps McKeown explains. -- Hoary 02:31, 23 May 2006 (EDT)
- There is a Seriter lens on some Tosei Frank Six models, maybe it is related. You can see one for sale here at ritzcam. The Seriter lens seems to have been mounted on other cameras too. In McKeown the lens names given for the Mihama Six are "Mihama" and "Kepler". --Rebollo fr 03:27, 23 May 2006 (EDT)
- Thanks. The name セリター isn't reminiscent of any name I've heard of. I can't think of any reason why either it or Seriter should be an imitation of some other name, and I therefore infer that セリター and Seriter are the same. I'm thus adding this nugget of information. You're a lot more expert than I am in this era; if you have doubts, revert! (Incidentally, I sent you [Mihama-irrelevant] mail a few hours ago.) -- Hoary 04:42, 23 May 2006 (EDT)
