The Auto Keef was a Japanese coupled rangefinder camera taking 4x4cm pictures on 127 film. It was made around 1941 by a company named Kokusaku Seikô (国策精工). The Auto Keef had a collapsible lens. Observed lens/shutter combinations:
- K.O.L. Keef 6cm f/3.5 lens (same handwritten style K.O.L. marking as a lens observed on a Semi Gaica) & T-B-1-300 shutter marked Kokusaku
- body s/n 2961, lens reported as a Tokyo Kogaku Toko 50/3.5 s/n 52679 (focal length seems dubious) & T-B-1-250 shutter reported as a Keef II (Leski auction #191)
- body s/n 2234, lens reported as Tokyo Kogaku Toko 60/3.5 s/n 51828 & shutter reported as Keef Koku-Saku (Leski auction #223, #249 & #270)
