Angel Six
The Angel Six is a Japanese 6×6 folding camera, attributed to Tōkai Shashin-yōhin, probably a distributor only.[1] It was briefly announced in a column of the November 1953 issue of Ars Camera.[2] It is said to take both 6×6cm and 4.5×6cm exposures, to have manual film advance via red windows, a front-cell focusing Angel 75/3.5 lens and a synchronized NKS shutter (B, 1–200, self-timer).[3] No picture of the camera has been observed so far, and no surviving example is known yet.
