See also the Adler 4.5×6 models, the Adler IV (4×4 model) and the Olympic page for the Vest Adler, a possible name variant of the Vest Olympic.
The Adler Six[1] (アドラーシックス) is a 6×6 folding camera, sold by Riken Kōgaku Kōgyō (now Ricoh) in 1941 and 1942. Like the other Adler cameras, it was not made by Riken[2]. It is a copy of the Nettar 6×6, with a horizontal folding bed, a folding optical finder and a body release. Film advance is via a key on the top left.
It is advertised in 1942[3] with a T, B, 5–200 shutter[4], in two variants:
- Adler Six I with a Ricoh Anastigmat 75/4.5 lens (¥93)
- Adler Six II with a Ricoh Anastigmat 75/3.5 lens, maybe with four elements[5] (¥111)
Notes
- ↑ The name "Adler" was clearly used to demonstrate Japan's alliance with Germany. During the war period, Riken often used such names (they also sold a Heil camera), or other "patriotic" names.
- ↑ According to this page of the Ricoh official website.
- ↑ Template:Gochamaze
- ↑ This page of the Ricoh official website says that the shutter is a Roico II with B, 10–200 speeds.
