Template:127 Japan The Minion was a series of folding cameras taking 4x5cm pictures on 127 film, made by Tokyo Kogaku (future Topcon), just before and just after the war. Topcon later made 35mm cameras called Minion 35, see the corresponding page.
All the Minion have automatic stop advance, because the 127 film paperback is not marked for the unusual 4x5cm format, rendering the traditional red window advance impossible. However none of them had body release or double exposure prevention.
