The Aires Viceroy is a folding 6×6 coupled-rangefinder camera that Aires produced for export to India (some sources say southeast Asia) around 1956–7.[1] The body was manufactured by Takane and was based on that for the Mine Six (and indirectly on that for the Mihama Six), the finder was manufactured by Aires.
The Viceroy came with an 75mm f/3.5 lens: either a Coral (produced by Aires) or a Nikkor. This was unit-focussed (focussed by moving the entire lens assembly, not merely the frontmost element). At least some examples have a Seikosha-MX shutter (B, 1–500).
Notes
- ↑ Southeast Asia: Kokusan kamera no rekishi, p. 376. Date: Kokusan kamera no rekishi, p. 376, says that the Viceroy was featured in Sankei Camera October 1956.
