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

  1. 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.
  2. According to this page of the Ricoh official website.
  3. Template:Gochamaze — An advertisement originally published in the October 1942 issue of Shashin Bunka, reproduced in Shōwa 10–40nen kōkoku ni miru kokusan kamera no rekishi, item 8, only shows the Adler Six II.
  4. This page of the Ricoh official website says that the shutter is a Roico II with B, 10–200 speeds.
  5. According to this page of the Ricoh official website.
