Template:127 Japan The Baby Oso (ベビー・オーソ) is a 3×4 camera announced in 1937 by the Japanese company Optochrom. The only advertisement mentioned by Kokusan kamera no rekishi is dated February 1937[1]. The Baby Oso is presented as soon to be available, with no price indicated.
The shutter has T, B, 25, 50, 100 speeds. The lens aperture is f:4.5 but the lens name is a bit confusing: it could be New Gold Lausar[2], or New Gold and Lausar could be a choice of two different lenses.
The camera pictured has a metallic top housing, containing the viewfinder, not unlike the Letix or the Kraft. It seems that it was never sold.
Notes
- ↑ Advertisement for the Baby Chrome, Baby Oso and Semi Chrome A and B, originally published in the February 1937 issue of Asahi Camera, reproduced in Shōwa 10–40nen kōkoku ni miru kokusan kamera no rekishi in two parts, items 34 and 89–91.
- ↑ Roman writing temptatively inferred from the katakana ニユーゴールド・ローザー.
