Around 1942, Riken (now [[Ricoh]]) sold a 6x6 folding camera, called the '''Adler Six''' (アドラーシックス), essentially a copy of the [[Zeiss Ikon]] [[Nettar]] 6x6. It had a horizontal folding bed, a folding optical finder and a body release. Like the other [[Adler]] cameras, it was not made by Riken. The shutter was T, B, 5–200 according to a 1942 ad (shown [http://syasinsyuu.cool.ne.jp/camera/syasinki.htm here], from the 15 July 1942 issue of ''Asahi Graph''); Ricoh's corporate site says Roico II B, 10–200 shutter.

Around 1942, Riken (now Ricoh) sold a 6x6 folding camera, called the Adler Six (アドラーシックス), essentially a copy of the Zeiss Ikon Nettar 6x6. It had a horizontal folding bed, a folding optical finder and a body release. Like the other Adler cameras, it was not made by Riken. The shutter was T, B, 5–200 according to a 1942 ad (shown here, from the 15 July 1942 issue of Asahi Graph); Ricoh's corporate site says Roico II B, 10–200 shutter. This ad showed two variants:

  • Adler Six I with a Ricoh Anastigmat 75/4.5 lens (93 yen)
  • Adler Six II with a Ricoh Anastigmat 75/3.5 lens (111 yen) (Ricoh's corporate site only gives this one and says the lens had four elements)
